Dan,

We spent 30+ years in NC. One thing to consider is the likelihood of undertows and riptides the farther north you get in NC along its coast. All it takes is a storm off the coast to stir up the ocean and make it dangerous to swim or wade on the ocean side of the NC outer banks. The beach drops of quickly and steeply. Closer to the SC border the beaches have a gentle slope.
