Sand dunes at OBX

You hear about things and think, oh how much different will this be than the sand dunes of the Jersey Shore. We were not expecting this! Jockey’s Ridge is the tallest natural sand dunes of the east coast varying from 80-100 ft above sea level. These dunes are naturally from by strong water currents caused by hurricanes and strong storms.

What really took my breath away was the wind at the top of the dunes! You can hear how strong the winds are in this video. It was amazing how close to civilization we were, but at the same time it felt like we were far removed from civilization and just in the middle of nowhere.
