Cape Lookout (North Carolina)



Three years in and we're still loving this destination for our annual beach trip!



This year we invited an additional couple to join us, but one of them tested positive for COVID-19 the week before the trip, ending their hopes of coming along. Still, our original group had another wonderful visit to the island, soaking up the sun for four days while we watched rain clouds and heat lightning in the distance.



The day before our trip, I received a car-mounted awning from eBay. I was impressed with how well it held up to the high winds and just how quickly and easily it deployed.



One thing that we realized quickly was just how unusual it was last year to enjoy such crystal-clear water. This season, the shore break was a typical mix of sand and shells, creating a more muted appearance. In the distance, the waters were turquoise, but nothing like we'd experienced the prior year.



Our last night there we decided to play a game of dominoes on the beach. Surprisingly, the fold-out table and string lights worked!



While sitting on the beach reflecting on the years past, we decided we'd mix it up next year - bringing sea kayaks and fishing rods with the hope of catching some fresh fish to enjoy for dinner one of the nights there. Here's hoping!
