Coast: Outer Banks

The Outer Banks (OBX) are a fragile and fascinating chain of barrier islands that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the rich waters of North Carolina's coastal sounds. Characterized by pristine, windswept beaches, strong currents, a rich shipwreck heritage (*Graveyard of the Atlantic*) and picturesque island communities, the Outer Banks combine outdoor adventure, aviation history and a distinct southern seafaring atmosphere.
