How crowded is Oak Island NC during week of 4th July?

We are planning a trip for week of July 4th , 2008. I went to North Myrtle Beach several years ago during the week of 4th and swore I would stay home if week of 4th was the only week I could go to beach. Things have changed and my hubby has job that closes only for that week during summer.

Should we stay home or are the North Carolina beaches not as crazy crowded as South Carolina beaches?

Update:

So, if we are just wanting to sit on the porch and watch the water, we would be ok at Oak Island, right? I also was looking at Topsail at Surf City. Which do you think is better for family who wants to rest , eat, and rest some more? (I like cooking during vacation.)

    North Carolina beaches are no where near as crazy as Myrtle Beach. But, there is a reason for that. North Carolina beaches don't offer what Myrtle Beach does. We (North Carolinians) have very few minuture golf corses, malls, arcades, ect........ compared to Myrtle Beach. So, if you are just looking for a beach, than I recommend the Crystal Coast (Morehead City) or Wilmington beach area. The outer banks do become somewhat crowded during holidays. Good luck with what ever you choose. Hope this helped.

    Personaly, I'd go with Oak Island. It is very beautiful. Shouldn't be that crowded, and is quiet.
