THE OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA BE SAFE. BE SMART. HAVE FUN ON THE OUTER BANKS. 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+ miles of wide-open shoreline, charming seaside 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 could say we were socially distancing before there was such a thing. Choose an oceanside vacation rental home

, and you

can literally go from your home to ours without interacting face-to-face with another person. Just pop in the keycode for your rental and start vacationing on your own stretch of beach. Or, go for a different home experience at one of the romantic B&Bs of Roanoke Island and enjoy the walkable waterfront downtown of Manteo

.

This is where our country started (only makes sense to start a vacation here, too). You’ll find a variety of Outer Banks hotels

, motels

,

cottage courts,

campgrounds

suitable for whatever experience

you choose. See for

yourself why Forbes and Dr. Beach ranked the Outer Banks as a top spot to get

away to!
