Living on the coast of North Carolina certainly has many wonderful benefits. First is the nice year-round weather. The cold days of winter don't ever last long. We might have one or two cold days, then it's back to the perfect type weather I moved here for. Secondly is the seafood. Always a fresh supply from local fishermen. Shrimp are abundant in the summer months. I always load up and stock my freezer full of them to make it through the off seas...
