North Carolina Outer Banks Region

Picture
The North Carolina Outer Banks region is a  200-mile  long series of narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. It is  an area rich with history and a popular tourist destination, known for its temperate climate and vast, beautiful sandy beaches.

Several notable events include the birth of  the first person of English descent, Virginia Dare, on American soil who mysteriously vanished along with the colony of early English settlers on  Roanoke  Island in 1587.  The Wright brothers first flight at Kill Devil Hills.  And a  large number of shipwrecks off the Outer Banks in an area known as the  Graveyard  of the Atlantic.

It's a place where wild horses roam  free,  deep sea fishing is world-class, and the beauty of nature shines through. Whether you go to relax or play, the Outer Banks has something for  everyone.
