Tennis at the beach is a big theme for me. This year at spring break my niece Gillian and I were looking for some public courts in our part of the Outer Banks suitable for hitting a few balls. Hard to find in Dare County, as it turns out.

The only public courts that I could find are on the grounds of the county rec center on Mustian Street in Kill Devil Hills. Here's a map. If you are driving on the bypass, it's kind of behind the shopping center where the Duck Donuts is in KDH.

There are four unlighted courts and a back board. The courts are in pretty good shape.

Have fun!

Foggy blue skies

Beach Realty has been posting some very nice pictures from their Facebook page. This one shows a great view of the Wright Memorial Bridge, gateway to the Outer Banks, on a glorious day in January that combined sunshine and fog.
