Over the past few years I've spent my share of time in the Charleston and Savannah areas exploring every inch of the coast that I can, but there are miles and miles of Georgia and Carolina coast that I have yet to see. Here is a list of beaches I have yet to explore that are currently on my wanderlust list. :)

I LOVE Ocracoke! Sadly, it's been several years since we've been, but I'm hoping to remedy that this year. We've also been to Rodanthe, but I prefer Ocracoke.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason your comment on my page isn't appearing just yet (think it's a Disqus snafu), but wow, yeah, that is rough being a nanny and not technically having any PTO or time-off in general allowed in your schedule. I really don't like government interference into different things, but I do wish employers would take the initiative to improve vacation day policies in the U.S. I strongly believe that time off makes us healthier, more productive and efficient workers! Thanks for linking up with us!
It's awesome that you've been to one of these beaches! Like I said, I've never been to any of them, so it's great that you were able to recommend one over the other. Now I know to try visiting Ocracoke before Rodanthe. I'm guessing Rodanthe is pretty touristy due to the Nicholas Sparks book.
DeleteSorry the comment was taking a while to appear. I'm like you – I think the US should encourage employers to give employees more time off. Most people I know feel that they simply can't take time off or they'll lose their job. The result is that they miss out on a lot of unique (educational) experiences. Hopefully, things will change in time… America has a lot it could improve on! :)
some pretty cool beaches! #travel tuesday
ReplyDeleteRoad trip?
ReplyDeleteI've never been to the east coast. I have, however, seen many beaches on the west coast. Although, I don't go that often, which is funny as I live, like, 15 minutes from the ocean.
Sounds like fun! I'll probably just be visiting each beach individually until I've seen them all. I've just got to get out of my Charleston/Tybee Island rut that I'm in. I always go to the same places. But, then again, I know them really well and I know what I like to do there. So there's that… :)
DeleteI'd love to visit the beaches on the west coast. I know everyone says this and no one does it, but I'd love to live 15 minutes from the beach and be able to go walk on it every single day. #TheDream :)
Whoa! What a list! I have never visited any of this places but it will be great to stop by several of them. I think I will add them all to by bucket list since I can choose which one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a whole list of great weekend trips! Lucky you! What are you going to visit first?
ReplyDeletelol. No idea. Wherever my husband will take me. :)
DeleteProbably the Georgia beaches since I live in Atlanta. They are closer than some of the Carolina beaches on my list.
I love beaches no matter what they look like! There's something about the sound of the ocean that makes me feel calm instantly :) Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! The sound is amazing! Thanks for commenting! :)
DeleteThese all look incredible! What a great round up of some really beautiful looking places. I haven't been to any of these but of course would like to some day ;) Thanks so much for linking up with #WanderfulWednesday, hope to see you again next week! :)
ReplyDeleteThe US coast line is SO underrated. I have always wanted to visit. Thank you for sharing this! #WanderfulWednesday
ReplyDeleteIs it really? I guess people typically flock to the cities rather than the coast. Especially the east coast. And if you are going to the beach, it's typically to Florida, right? *shrugs* Hope you get to visit some day! :)
DeleteI'm from the Carolinas and the only place I've been to on your list is Wilmington. It's a great list, though, I'm saving it for later!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to any of those places, but looking at the beautiful pictures makes me want to go!
ReplyDeleteI just had my first trip to Charleston and instantly fell in love because it was so pretty! I definitely want to visit some more of the Carolina coast soon! I think that it'd be fun to visit Rodanthe, especially since I read the Nicholas Sparks book.
ReplyDeleteI've never read the Nicholas Spark's book, but I "heard" about it when I was researching the beaches in this post. I'll have to check it out. :)
DeleteI've never been to any of these beaches! Actually I haven't even heard of a lot of them! But they look lovely and next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to have to look some up. Honestly with winter quickly approaching in Chile, any and all beaches up north are on my wanderlist right now wahhhh Thanks for Linking up with #wanderfulwednesday!! :D
ReplyDeletelol. I totally *get* it. I haven't visited any of these beaches either, but I'd love to! And since I live so much closer than you, I really don't have a choice, do I? :)
DeleteThese beaches are all stunning. I have no idea how you're going to choose which to visit first! What I particularly like is that they all seem nice and quiet. Maybe that's just clever photography, but there's nothing better than a beach to yourself. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWilmington NC made me think of Wilmington DE, and then I realized it was a different state. But the beach there doesn't look as tantalizing as the other beaches on your list. Maybe that photo doesn't do it justice. Courtney - Maui Jungalow.
