opinions wanted on east coast beaches

I vote for Myrtle Beach. Its a zoo in the summer time, but I expect the off season would be great. This is a little crazy, but for me, the beach just doesn't seem like the beach without some sort of palm trees to create a tropical feel. Myrtle Beach is about as far north as you'll find palm trees. And I would expect that even in the off season theres alot to do in Myrtle Beach. I'm been to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and to me it just seemed like a big sand bar. Virginia Beach is okay, but can't compare to Myrtle Beach.
