It’s May, so it’s officially beach season, right?

In the Carolinas, we not only love our beaches, but we are loyal to them. My family has rented the same beach house at North Litchfield for so many years that it has become easy to think of it as a second home. Everyone knows which bedroom is theirs, where Mom’s Party Mix is kept and that the outdoor shower needs to be checked for bees before running into it with sandy feet.

So many of us from North and South Carolina have similar stories. The beach houses are already booked for travel season, the restaurant reservations are made and it’s just about time to feel that ice cream dripping down your hand as you pedal your rented beach cruiser down the boardwalk, headed for the ocean.

We want to know about your favorite Carolina beaches, where you eat while you’re there and if you go to the same spot or change it up each year. We’ll compile your results and post them in an upcoming story.

Fill out the survey below or send us an email to charlottefive@charlottefive.com — let’s talk beaches!
