Well from my experience you won't avoid the crowds on Hatteras. The setting is completely different than the keys too, as I recall there is a sand dune blocking the view of the ocean from the road for most if not all of the way. Not to say we didn't enjoy it, which we did. It just isn't the keys. As a nitpick the sand is very fine and gets in everything as opposed to Florida beach sand which is coarse being mainly crushed shells and such.
The panhandle doesn't duplicate the keys either, I never got that balmy day feeling along the gulf coast. You don't have the azure water for one thing. Again it's a great place to go but different. We are heading to St Josephs Peninsula in a few weeks ourselves. And depending on where you go, you'll find plenty of crowds. More so the further west you go.
