OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA
Come to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - a place of warm ocean
breezes, spectacular sunrises and wide pristine beaches. From the
Virginia border south for 100 miles to Ocracoke, this area is a chain
of unique islands. The Outer Banks has a population of 50,000 and
hosts more than 7 million visitors each year. These sandy barrier
islands with so much unspoiled natural beauty are a special place
where time seems a bit slower and visitors are lured back year after
year.
These barrier islands offer many recreational opportunities. Visit the
historic lighthouses, stroll the beaches, windsurf, or just relax while
you enjoy nature and do not be surprised if you suddenly come upon
one of the wild horses that inhabit the beaches. The Outer Banks
has many historic attractions. Ocracoke Island once served as the
stomping grounds of eighteenth-century pirate Blackbeard. You will
also find many historic attractions such as 16th century history of our
first settlers celebrated on Roanoke Island and the site of man’s first
powered airplane flight at Kill Devil Hills.

Roanoke Island - Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. One hundred

drama.

Outer Banks comes to life at Roanoke Island Festival Park located
