North/South Carolinas...

Where are some good places to go (especially near the shoreline) around June or so?

We're going on vacation here again (second time in 3 or 4 years) and I'm just curious of the places you guys have seen and liked. We stayed in Wilmington, NC last time and that's a great place. We also spent a day on Myrtle Beach, another nice stay.

Are you looking for more of a party atmosphere or prettier beaches?

The Isle of Palms is nice (SC) but it takes a fair amount of money. And Charleston SC is beautiful, if you like history then this is the place to go. The party atmosphere is there but not nearly as bad as Myrtle (which has become party central) I would also recommend New Bern NC. It has a lot of history too (I'm a history buff) but I haven't been there in probably 10 or 11 years. From what I've heard though, it's done nothing but gotten better.

Another neat place is the outer banks (Nags Head, Bodie Island, Ocracoke, etc.) I went in the winter though (January) It was a nice place to go for relaxation but the lack of 'life' or 'nightlife' depressed me. In the winter, even the Hardee's closes down and the Wal-Mart runs on limited hours. Then again, it's been almost as long since I've been there.

How 'bout a good mix of both?

I'd say go South, but I'm a sucker for old Dixie.
