#10 A book

| This is a book |
In this age of constant connectivity and instant communication we highly recommend a throwback - a book! Available at libraries everywhere grab yourself a novel, biography, even a how to book and head to the beach without anything else but a chair and your book. Open the cover and do not leave until you've read for at least three hours. Feel free to take a dip in the ocean between chapters!
That's it. That's our 2014 version of top 10 beach items for you to take to the Outer Banks this summer. Now get out there and enjoy our pristine beaches and beautiful water!
All the best from the beach!
