Outer Banks, NC
Jockey Ridge State Park.
Formed by processes of erosion and deposition, the Outer Banks (technically extending from far southeastern Virginia all the way to North Carolina) are a sight to behold. Since moving to Virginia I've made multiple trips down to the Outer Banks and have been both amazed at their beauty and dismayed at the level of development occurring on such a fragile and vulnerable ecosystem. The Outer Banks are one the stormiest part of the east coast (second only to Florida) and yet you will find giant vacation homes built right up to the edge of the sea.
I was itching to find out what the Outer Banks look like without development, and the dunes of Jockey Ridge State Park, though small, is a shining example of the beauty of the Outer Banks.
