You would be hard pressed to find any resort area on the Planet that has more attractions and landmarks than the Outer Banks. From the first colonization attempt to man's first powered flight, history is made on the Outer Banks! From the east coast's tallest natural sand dune to the nation's tallest lighthouse and its recent, record breaking move... the Outer Banks is full of wonder that you won't discover anywhere else. You could fill several museums with Outer Banks heritage, wildlife and culture, which is precisely what we've done. We're just as famous for what you won't find on the Outer Banks... with vast amounts of local, state and federal preserved land that will never be commercially developed.
