Real islands don't have bridges.

In mid-Spring, Living in Beauty's ongoing search for alone time took us, by free vehicular ferry, to Ocracoke Island where it is still possible to camp in the dunes with a private path to the seashore and walk for hours in solitude on a natural beach.

On The Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina – where the north-flowing Gulf Stream and south-flowing Labrador currents are constantly shifting the ocean floor around like two kids in a sandbox – shorelines, and even islands appear and disappear over night.

There, we found an adventurous place to test our dry-camping mettle and relax into an extravagant two-week island vacation.
