Fodor's Review:
Coquina Beach, in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, is considered by locals to be the loveliest beach in the Outer Banks. The wide-beam ribs of the shipwreck Laura Barnes rest in the dunes here. Driven onto the Outer Banks by a nor'easter in 1921, she ran aground north of this location; the entire crew survived. The wreck was moved to Coquina Beach in 1973 and displayed behind ropes, but subsequent hurricanes have scattered the remains and covered them with sand, making it difficult to discern. Free parking, public changing rooms, showers, and picnic shelters are available.

Hot Day, Cool Wedding

Another thing to take into consideration for a beach wedding is the time of day and the temperature.  Did a wedding over the weekend and it was to quote the bride, "hot as blue blazes!"
Have some water for your guests and maybe parasols...and don't forget your flip flops to protect your feet.

Checking Tide

When you are considering a beach wedding, it is a good idea to check the tide charts.  I have performed weddings when the tide was coming in and there was very little beach available for the couple and their guests.  Checkout my website: simplyweddingsobx.com for more information.
