area
We are staying 9 miles up in the 4x4
section, and had a question about
my vehicle. I have both a Chevy Trailblazer
(2003) & a Ford Explorer (2002)
and needed some advice. Both are 4wd,
but the Trailblazer is slightly lower
to the ground than the Explorer and
the tires are more for highway use.
I've read a lot of the message boards
(excellent info), but didn't find
much on just how rugged a 4x4 needs
to be to get up to this area. Thanks
for any help! Read

beach traffic
A group of us are planning our first
visit to OBX this year and are staying
at one of the 4x4 beaches about 3
mi. north of the paved road. Recently,
someone told me that they wouldn't
advise staying here because of all
the people 4-wheeling driving up and
down the beach at all hours of the
day/night. With kids, they also told
me that you have to watch for 4x4s
while the kids are playing on the
beach. While I doubt it's as bad as
they said, what's it really like there?
Thank you! Read

First time to 4x4 area in september.
Im a little confused...... If you
are to drive right on the beach, wouldnt
the vehicles be in the way of the
peoples activites ( i.e. sunbathing,
playing, etc.)? How close are the
cars and how often do they pass by?

rentals
I will be driving a rental car from
PA to the Frisco/Hatteras area.I would
like to rent a 4x4 somewhere close
to these locations, since I can only
drive one vehicle at a time and leaving
the first rental for a period of time
at some unknown location would make
me uncomfortable. Is there any rental
agency close to either of these two
towns? Read

Beach driving & sitting
Just where is one to sit in the 4x4
area? I'm confused! We, like most
people, like to sit at waters edge,
but 'they' say you are to drive at
waters edge. I also see people driving
back farther,closer to the dunes-in
other truck tracks. So where is the
'right' place to sit? I worry sometimes
we will blend in with the beach because
of the sun glare and get run over!
Dont get me wrong, i wont vacation
anywhere else but the 4x4 area-so
dont suggest i go to another area!
LOL---just tell me where to sit :)

wheel driving
I have read the sites about four wheel
driving south of Nags Head. However,
I cant get a good idea of how long
a distance is four wheel accessible
traveling south. I am trying to decide
whether or not to come in my four
wheel drive truck or just come in
the car when we visit OBX next month...

We vacation in the 4x4 area on Swan
Beach. We are thinking of going farther
north this year, somewhere around
the 8-9 mile mark. Everyone says it
is very tranquil and private the farther
up you go. BUT as i am looking at
aeriel views and just general searching
it looks like there are a lot MORE
houses up there than at the 3-6 mile
area. Any input on this?? Thank you
in advance for help! Read
