There's a reason the Eastern Surfing Association picked Buxton, North Carolina for its Best of the East surfing competition this September: The little village marked by the famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse picks up tides from northern Canada, giving it some of the biggest waves on the East Coast.
The fishing's not bad, either, and unlike other eastern surf oases, you probably won't have to attack a shark to get clear waters.
The ESA Easterns will be held September 21-27. The closest major airport is Wilmington International (ILM).
