Going Coastal - lookin' for funky little motels, beach bars, good food, interesting people...

Going coastal is our non-scheduled, non-interstate, unmapped exploration of what's left of the old coast. We're looking for the gems that didn't get torn down for condo's, the local dive bars, mom & pop motels, restaurants with butcher paper on the table and a bucket for shells. Nothing fancy or overpriced. We're starting from our home on Cape Fear about a mile from the intracoastal waterway (ICWW)and will meander south. Help us out with a few suggestions and tell us about your favorite places. We promise not to tell too many people!
