Adventure Bound is a tent only campground located on the edge of the Kitty Hawk Maritime Forest. Situated in a quiet residential area, the grounds are in open grassy areas and a shaded, wooded areas with picnic tables and charcoal grills available for your site. The beach is only a mile and a half a way, just down Kitty Hawk Road. Watch sunsets, search for shells, swim, kayak and more. Boaters, kayakers and canoers can launch their boats at the public boat ramp about 1/4 mile away, just around the corner from the campground.

No bigger than a thumb, a sand crabs spend most of its time buried in shifting sand. Well camouflaged by its gray shell, a sand crab keeps its balance in the ever-moving sand with the help of a heavily armored, curved body and pointy legs. To stay put in the sand, a crab burrows quickly and often.

You'll have to set the alarm for this one, but it will turn out to be one of the most memorable times of your vacation. And don't forget the camera.

If you've ever been relaxing on the beach, admiring everyone else's sand castles, and wishing you knew how to build one - well, have we got a treat for you. Building a sand castle really isn't as difficult as it looks, and only requires a few key tools. So, grab your pail and shovel, and get digging.
