Outer Banks Posts

Author Angel Khoury's stunning local book "Between Tides" is out now! If you wonder if you will like it, here's what we have to say about it: “I have, sadly, turned the last page. I slowed down and tried to make it last. I so loved living in that world. On page 263, the paragraph that starts ‘When the wind was right…” I don’t know that I’ve ever seen in words that moment out of time that is the very essence of euphoria. For anyone who has never experienced it, that description would be simply a lovely interlude. But for those of us who have had that feeling of ‘becoming one with’ not only another person but also this singular Outer Banks place…well I just love it. And I love that Khoury must have had enough of those moments to embed the feeling in her heart.” Angel will be here with us to sign later in September. But for now, we're happy to ship your book to you.

All of us at Just For the Beach want you to have the best time while visiting the Outer Banks. This is your time to relax and get away from everything.
