Movie Set Travel: Nights in Rodanthe

September 26, 2008 at 8:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

Snuggle up to the dropping temps with the just opened Nights in Rodanthe. Is Richard Gere aging well? Does Diane Lane look good even with a mousey haircut? Yes and yes. They're back on a more positive note (don't forget Unfaithful) as lovers who find each other in the midst of a terrible storm on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Adrienne Willis (Lane) plays a woman stuck in a bad marriage who has snuck away for a weekend to tend to a friend's inn on the beach (yep, all our friends have them too...) when the first (and only) guest, Paul Flanner (Gere) checks in as a major storm attacks the area. The two turn to each other for, ehem, comfort and of course their lives are changed forever.

This one was actually shot on the stunning beaches of Rodanthe, NC. Read on to create your own swept away weekend there this fall...

Where To Stay: Rodanthe Vacation Rentals
Avoid the seaside motels and rent a decked out spot of your own. This agency offers them all, from two-bedrooms to eight-bedrooms with perks like jacuzzis, game rooms, WiFi and XBox. A week will run you anywhere from $1,300 to $2,700. Look out for overtly romantic roommates!

Where To Eat: Lone Cedar Cafe
Right on the Causeway near Nags Head, the Lone Cedar serves fresh caught seafood (fish, crabs, clams, squid, shrimp and oysters) with locally grown seasonal veggies. Every table has a gorgeous Atlantic view, too. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait and watch the sunset.

What to See: Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station
Built in 1874 and commissioned by Congress to patrol for ships lost at sea, Chicamacomico was one of the country's most famous lifesaving operations. In 1918 six of its members saved 47 of 57 British sailors when their ship was torpedoed off the coast. It's the perfect spot to relive your hero/Prince Charming fantasy.
