Since 1587, people have been drawn to our undisturbed beauty. More than 420 years later, visitors still marvel at the quiet sanctuary that lies before them as the historical imprints our many visitors have left behind. The Outer Banks of North Carolina mixes the past and the present into a well-kept balance of solitude and activity that is ideal for all ages and spirits. It’s easy to find us along the North Carolina coast. The Outer Banks is a string of sandy barrier island more than 130 miles long that bow out into the Atlantic Ocean and cup the shoreline. Our islands are filled with watery hideaways where wildlife takes refuge and nature lovers delight, quiet beaches for sport or peace, and history that dates back to America’s beginnings. As you will see, The Outer Banks is a destination sure to delight you with its variety of adventure, art, dinning, and history and beach fun in the towns of Duck, Corolla, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Roanoke Island to the undeveloped shores of Hatteras Island. September and October are the nicest months to visit due to sunny skies, warm (but not hot) temperatures and low humidity.
