The Outer Banks is a 200-mile long string of narrow barrier islands
off the coast of North Carolina and a small portion of Virginia,
beginning in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east
coast of the United States. It wouldn't be a vacation the Outer Banks without the beach. On the east side of these islands lay the white sandy variety and the clear blue Atlantic Ocean. On the west side, Sounds stretch as far as the eye can see. Both serve as a worthy spot to spend a day frolicking in the surf. That's why people come from all across the country to enjoy the beaches here on the Outer Banks.
3)Skim boards, Surfboards and Kayaks! Kitty Hawk Surf Co:
The OBX is a convergence of two massive ocean currents, the warm Gulf
Stream and the cooler Labrador Current. Here, the whimsy of the winds
and waves provide a spectacular natural stage for outdoor recreation
like hang gliding off sand dunes, kiteboarding, wind surfing, kayaking,
surfing and paddleboarding, not to mention the soft adventure
offerings like bird watching, hiking and horseback riding on the beach.

4) Dolphin Den Restaurant Hatteras Island’s Seafood Restaurant……the best fresh seafood you will ever eat. “Fresh as we can get it” seafood. Local fishermen, old friends,call from offshore to see what we can use of their catch, and it is delivered, dressed and filleted, late that day, and ready to be served the next day. Our soft shell crabs are locally farmed by other childhood friends in the business, who fish the sound waters off Nags Head.252-995-7717. http://www.dolphindenrestaurant.com/.

5) Roanoke Island Festival Park -Roanoke,
the colony that disappeared. Over thirty years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock, a group of 117 weary men, women and children
waded ashore and made history on Roanoke Island in July 1587,
establishing the first permanent settlement of its kind in the
Americas.They were recruited by Sir Walter Raleigh. Three years later an
English ship returned, to find the settlement deserted, plundered and
surrounded by overgrown brush. This history is celebrated at Roanoke island Festival Park. Visit the Settlement Site, and experience firsthand what life was like for the lost settlers. Go aboard a 16th century merchant ship.There is also an interactive museum and indian settlement, on 25 beautiful acres..
6) Wright Brothers Memorial
- The two brothers that ran a local bicycle shop and then taught the
world to fly! Their National Park features well-manicured grounds with
markers, both big and small, indicating the successful launching and
landing points, a visitors' center, and a cluster of museums and
exhibits which celebrates the last century of flight and beyond

8) The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
- The present lighthouse, officially completed and lit in December
1870, is the second built of three that have been constructed in
Buxton. The first Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was built in 1803. It was a
sandstone structure 90 feet tall that projected an insufficient light
beam using a collection of Argand lamps and reflectors. Sitars to a new
height of 150 feet in 1854, and a first order Fresnel lens was
installed, the most powerful of its day. During the Civil War in 1861,
retreating Confederate soldiers took the Fresnel lamp from the
lighthouse, to keep it out of Union hands. Shell damage during the war
and structural deterioration prompted the construction of a replacement
lighthouse in 1870, the one we enjoy today. The original lighthouse
was then demolished in 1871. Whale oil was replaced by kerosene by the
1880’s, and by 1934, the beam was electrified. Beach erosion threatened
the base of the lighthouse by 1935, prompting the construction of a
third lighthouse some distance away in the Buxton Woods. It was a steel
skeleton tower that utilized an airport beacon. Fifteen years later,
the 1870 lighthouse was again put back in operation, as erosion
patterns changed. The Fresnel lens was vandalized in the 1940’s when
the older lighthouse stood empty during those years. Now it uses two
active 1000-watt lamps, visible for more than 20 miles. In 1999 the
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was moved a half mile inland, to save it from
the encroaching Atlantic. 46368 Old Lighthouse RdBuxton, NC 27920 map
9) Jockey's Ridge State Park- JOCKEY'S
RIDGE is the tallest natural sand dune system in the Eastern United
States. At Jockey's Ridge State Park you can experience the world of
the desert. Shifting sands, high winds, extreme temperatures and a lack
of water make the park resemble barren environments such as the Sahara
Desert. You
also can explore the wonders of an estuarine environment. The tidal
waters of the Roanoke Sound, the western boundary of the park, is a
rich habitat for a variety of plant and animal life, making these
waters the source of much of the sea's bounty. map
