Admit It, You’re Curious about the Outer Banks

Super-magnetic vacation destinations often have a push-pull effect; part of you resists doing what everyone else is doing, but a place has to be popular for a reason, right? Such is the case with the Outer Banks. The rebel inside of you has her doubts, but the person in charge of making sure that everyone in the family has a great time knows the right thing to do…


These North Carolina Barrier Islands have been attracting visitors for hundreds of years. While maintaining a distant and peaceful feeling, the Outer Banks still offer a wide range of conveniences, activities and amenities. Typical of being on an island, you’ll feel far away from the pressures and hubbub of modern life. Trade in drudgery and work for days spent lounging on the sandy beach, swimming, windsurfing and taking long and leisurely strolls. Jockey’s Ridge State Park will afford stunning views, Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is filled with birds and beasts of all kinds, and several lighthouses line the coast – nothing makes you feel like you’re on vacation like climbing a lighthouse.


Also at your disposal are plenty of golf courses, shops, restaurants and vacation rentals. Make yourself at home in a big beach house (Corolla, Duck and Nags Head are top picks) and watch as everyone easily falls into a happy routine. On their own schedules kids and adults will wake up, head out to enjoy any number of adventures and then meet back up for a home-cooked meal - perhaps enjoyed al fresco. After a night of fun and games with all your favorite people, you’ll easily see why having your very own house in which to spread out and be real is the best way to enjoy the Outer Banks.


By now you should see that this destination is all about kicking back and soaking in a beautiful part of the country that, though it sees a lot of traffic, is certainly worth considering. Come in the summer to see the scene at its peak or come during off-season for a calmer experience – all that matters is that you’ll be stopping by before too long.
