My friend and I from class are planning to just take about 3-4 days from the weekend off from work and do a little surf trip. We were thinking Delaware may be a cool place to go too. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
I'd Recommend skipping Deleware and head another 4 hours south to the outerbanks. I'm pretty sure everyone who lives in Deleware wants to leave the state right about now.
Yeah we were thinking OBX, just skeptical because it'd be a 4 day trip and we have no idea about cost or if that'd be enough time to really enjoy OBX
Montauk NY could be cool as well. Would be a shorter drive to get there, but if I had the choice I would probably go OBX.
You can do a lot in 4 days. Camping is cheap, food can be cheap if you bring your own and don't eat out a lot but gas can get expensive... it may cost as much as NJ on the Banks. How much time do you need to enjoy something, especially if you are only going to surf? But, you need to have a 4x4 if you even want to pull off the road and surf at random in a lot of spots. If you're in a car, expect to do a lot of walking in sand to surf the less-than-usual-spots
OBX is the pefect choice...this is a real surf trip, not Deleware. Take a tent and some PB and J...make it real cheap.
This! Please tell me where lol! I need all this info.. I have a ford explorer, so it chugs gas.. but it'll do.
You can't Although, I did stay in the back of a explorer while tucked in between some dunes on the north side of oregon inlet many years ago. I wouldn't try it now though. There is a huge beach access fight going on in OBX right now and even the those in favor of 4x4 beach access will probably rat you out so you don't spoil it for everyone. You could also pretend to fish all night and get a few zzzz's. The beaches are open 24hrs until april 30.

Haven't been in a while, but a few campgrounds around lighthouse include: Cape Point, Cape Woods, and Frisco Woods. Not sure if they're still open.
Frisco Woods and the Frisco National Seashore campsite should be open in addition to the NPS site next to Oregon Inlet -- check the NPS site link (above). You can also rent motel rooms rather inexpensively this time of year. Check the surf forecasts when you leave before committing to a specific place to stay... many miles and hours between Nags Head and Frisco, but certainly is more beautiful south of the Bonner Bridge.
