there are more than enough beach accesses from kitty hawk to south nags head to find a break. the better spots vary on the year and the sandbars. always check the piers (avalon, nags head, kitty hawk, jeanette's (currently under re-construction), even though they'll be crowded on better days. the best thing to do is just check several beach accesses.
surf can range from lake atlantic in the summer, to macking, sand sucking monsters. you can usually find it breaking somewhere as long as it's not dead flat/bad tide
drive up and down the beach road (route 12) and find a beach access. easy as that. they're marked with a sign.
plenty of hotels, rental homes, cottages and condos in a range of prices depending on season. and there are mansions for the ballers
parking lots at the smaller accesses are just that; small. get there early, get lucky or just find another access. parking is always free at the public accesses, but be aware of no parking signs/private lots.

lots of restaurants and bars in the area. too many to list. if you're here, you'll find them. if you're planning a trip, just google 'outer banks restaurants.' there's also a movie theatre and bowling alley. nags head woods if you're into the nature stuff. jockey's ridge, the east coast's largest sand dune, is cool. just don't go in the middle of the day. sunset is best
