Outer Banks, North Carolina

The Outer Banks

The Outer Banks (also known as OBX) is a 320 km long string of narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Caroline, beginning in the south eastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east coast of the US.They cover approximately half the northern North Caroline coastline, separating the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound and Panlico Sound form Atlantic Ocean.

I enjoyed the visit, though visiting in early spring where the weather was rather cold and windy. The Outer Banks are suppose to be a huge tourism attraction famously also known for it's long white sandy beaches and dunes. There are also few museums in the area and also some historical buildings. We took a little walk on the beach in Kitty Hawk and while the weather wasn't compelling we had an hours drive down the island to "Bodie Island Lighthouse, where they have a little museum and a gift shop. The area is highly attractive area for windsurfing kite boarding and fishing trips.
