The closest and cheapest beach to Charlotte, NC?
I live in Charlotte, NC, planning for a 2-3 days vacation. I am looking for the closest and the cheapest beach around here (NC, SC or VA), can anyone help to find out more about them and how to get the best prices? My weekly schedule is flexible and I can travel during the week days, I guess it would be cheaper during that time, right? One more thing, are hotels next to the beaches more expensive? I know it's more convenient to stay right next to the beach instead of commuting. Thanks Other - United States - 2 Answers

I live about an hour north of Charlotte and it takes us between 4 and 5 hours to drive to North Myrtle. I think the SC beaches are closer than the NC ones, but the NC beaches (Ocean Isle, Sunset, Holden) are probably less expensive. The Wilmington area is nice, but since I've never been there I can't give you much info. The Outer Banks are nice too, but not as close to Charlotte. You can save money by staying across from Ocean Drive, not on oceanfront. If you go to some of the beaches in North Myrtle, or in NC, you can rent a house a few blocks from the ocean and the walk isn't so bad. Most houses and condos rent by the week in peak season. You just have to find a public walkway for beach access. You don't say how many are going, but you can probably find a good deal on a one bedroom condo or even on a motel room in an oceanfront building but without an ocean view, or just a side view. If you are really flexible you can find better deals if you wait till after Labor Day to go. The weather is still warm and rates go down.
