Once again heading south, with the skies conveniently parting to reveal a deepening blue sky, I noticed that the villages of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo had grown significantly since I had last visited the area around five years ago. Stopping in any villages today; however, was not on my agenda as I made my next stop at the Salvo Day Use Area. The day use area is one of two on the sound side of these barrier islands. Many people use these areas to: rest, soak in the natural beauty, or use the area as a staging platform for wind surfing or wind sailing in the wide and often windy Pamlico Sound.
