Great idea for an interesting thread.
Our 1st was in 1987 and we stayed in a hotel on Great Bay. I thought P'burg was the city of the dog - barking all night long.
Not knowing anything, we just explored by car every day, with animals being in the road the main issue - not traffic.
Grand Case was our favorite beach - right at the GCBC. Orient Beach was mostly a forest. Also liked Long Beach.
Loved the little airport terminal. We could not rent a car at the airport back then.
