If you’re looking for a beach with a boardwalk and lots of hotels and nightlife, Avon isn’t the place. None of the OBX really is. If you’re looking for a laid-back, island-style life for a week though, Avon is certainly it. The whole aura of the village and most of the southern Outer Banks is this way, and it’s why I love the area so much. No highrises or clubs, just miles and miles of relatively untouched beaches and small villages. No pretentious dining, no Michelin Stars, no black-tie venues, just hole in the wall joints serving local fare to folks straight off the beaches. This place will always be “beach” to me - when I think of a beach, I always have and always will think fondly of my many weeks spent relaxing and unwinding in Avon
