vacation north carolina

Which North Carolina beach should we vacation at?
I’ve been to Destin Florida and it was beautiful but now we’re going to on vacation a little closer to home. I figure North Carolina is a good spot for nice beaches that isn’t terribly far away from home (Ohio). I’ve been searching on the web but so many names come up. Can anyone help? I want to go somewhere really pretty with preferrably white sands and always something to do whether it’s shopping, parks, amusement parks, etc. It will be a vacation for two young people.
The Outer Banks is your best bet. If you have young people in your party, Nags Head is nice and has a lot of activities. If you like a quiter setting Hatteras Island would be great, less to do, more quiet, but in my mind better!
