The Outher Banks
Welcome! The Outer Banks of North Carolina (or commonly called OBX) make for an incredible family beach vacation that can satisfy everyone. Some things you’ll want to discover for yourself, but we’d like to help you get started with a few quick thoughts. There are miles and miles of beaches you can drive with a 4x4, access for kiteboarding, hang gliding, wreck diving, sunbathing or just sit back and enjoy nature. Parking is free and our bridges and ferries are free too. We have numerous national and state parks, which are open year round and most of which are free. Our towns and villages, each with their own character, are filled with warm and inviting folks happy to have you. The Outer Banks are close enough to get to, but have a sense of being far away for those wanting to get away from it all. www.outerbanks.org

to seared fresh yellowfin tuna from the<br />
