We came back to the hotel for lunch, then went to the beach nearby for a couple of hours. We had the roughest waves we've seen the whole time we've been in the Outer Banks -- we'd seen them in the morning, but thought maybe the water was rougher with the channel so close along Cape Hatteras National Seashore. I did more wading than swimming! Afterward we came in for dinner, then went to Jockey's Ridge State Park, the biggest sand dune on the east coast, which we climbed with lots of kite-flyers to watch the sunset. Then we stopped at a food store and went out for ice cream!
