dpca, noted!
As an example of the crammed 4x4 picture being non typical;
Here is a picture of a good kiting day at the tip of Cape Hatteras-
No cars.
Oh wait, here's a few!
Yup, its pretty crowded!
Here is another day looking back north towards the Cape.
Plenty of room for kiting, fishing, surfing, and it doesn't seem that anyone is looking to run me down with their tonka truck as I take the picture.
Just pointing out that every place may get swamped on a holiday weekend or a peak Saturday...but most of the time there is plenty of room for everybody. Okay, I'm done with this thread now. This topic will likely only deteriorate from here but it was nice to hear multiple sides to an interesting issue. I love Hatteras and hope it works out best for the recreational users down there.
