The Golden Strand   5034

This oceanfront resort overlooks 250 feet of pristine white sand beach. Sailing and other boating activities are offered nearby. The Oregon Inlet Fishing Center--just minutes away--can arrange deep-sea fishing charters. Golfers can choose from two 18-hole courses in the area. For a real change of pace, take a hang-gliding lesson at Kitty Hawk Kites. Visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial and don't miss the sun setting from atop Jockey's Ridge sand dune.
