In the philosophy of locals, this great natural resource provides incomparable riches in terms of the quality of daily living. Our unofficial community slogan is, "You couldn't pay me to move." Small wonder hundreds of thousands of vacationers choose this region for their play time year after year. Vacationing by, on, or in the water is the most popular way for Americans to relax, which probably explains why many visitors end up being residents on the coast by retirement age, if not before. It's the lure of island-style living; it's the simplicity of bare feet and casual clothing; it's the worry-free attitude of paradise. But everyone, including Insiders, needs to be reminded that even in such a paradise, there are some good tips to follow for a safe, enjoyable vacation.

Carolina-blue sky, taking an occasional dip in the beautiful, clean waters off North
Carolina's southern coast or cruising down the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) on a powerboat,
sailboat or kayak.
