Outer Banks North Carolina

The Outer Banks North Carolina is made up of a string of beautiful barrier islands consisting of the counties of Currituck, Dare, and Hyde counties.

These clusters of islands are comprised of narrow paths of sand and are connected to the mainland by ferries, private boats and man-made bridges.



Traveling to the North Carolina's Outer Banks is highly recommended. Tourist season runs from April to November, but as you may think, the most popular time to visit is during the hot summer months when you can enjoy the North Carolina Outer Banks beach house rentals and for the summer, at least, "become a banker."

Of course, that is when all the restaurants, shops and the many Outer Banks attractions are in full swing!

There are many options available if you plan to spend your summer. There are many Outer Banks vacation rentals available in the form of Beach Houses, Hotels, Motels, and Rental properties.

When visiting, you must stop by the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse! It is known as America's tallest beacon and has one of the best views in all of North Carolina!



Although there are many great things to see on the Outer Banks, the most popular are the beautiful white sand beaches and the lighthouse.

A great feature is that during the summer, the national park service offers some great programs such as fishing trips and guided nature walks. If camping is your thing, you will find many great camping facilities available as well.

One of the most significant events to happen in North Carolina happened on the Outer Banks. It was on December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, when the Wright Brothers made their first successful flight.

The Wright Brothers National Memorial located in Kill Devil Hills and is a great attraction to see. You can find more information about the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
