Cedar Island, North Carolina

Making its home in the middle of a National Wildlife Refuge and located northeast of Morehead City,  Cedar Island is one of the best places to check out migrating waterfowl and other species of flora and fauna along the North Carolina coastline.

Cedar Island doesn't have much in the way of commercial establishments, but many people believe that to be one of its strongest assets.

There are several places to stay on the island, including the Driftwood Motel. Located right on the water, the Driftwood features a motel, campground and seafood restaurant with a gift shop.

Cedar Island, North Carolina benefits from its beaches facing the east, unlike those of Ocracoke, which helps shield it from the fury of tropical storms and hurricanes that sweep through the area.

Heading south from Cedar Island towards Beaufort and Morehead City you'll pass through the quiet towns of Atlantic, Davis and Sealevel.

All have remained virtually untouched by the high profusion of tourism that has scathed the rest of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. These spots are worth checking out.

So the next time you plan your beach vacation getaway, chart a different course or are looking for a quiet, relaxing place in North Carolina to retire or relocate to, head for these less traveled, quieter spots.

More than likely, you won't miss the crowds.  Cedar Island, North Carolina…could be your Best Place to Live in North Carolina.
