A beach bag filled with locally made items, gift certificates, and snacks will help remind you of your last vacation to the Outer Banks or put you on the edge of your seat with anticipation for your trip here!

The Outer Banks of North Carolina offers a welcome relief from crowded cities and overrun vacation spots. In fact, you won’t find any cities on the Outer Banks, just 100-plus miles of wide-open shoreline, charming villages, and a mix of towns brimming with personality and fascinating connections to our nation’s history. Although we’re just a drive away, these barrier islands feel remote. You’ll find a variety of attractions, activities, accommodations, and restaurants suitable for whatever experience you choose.
