There is no shortage of things to see only a short distance away, but there are countless more things to discover if you venture a little further. To help you plan unforgettable day trips, we’ve put together a guide to the islands in the Outer Banks ripe for exploring.
What to Know about 3 Islands
The islands that make up the Outer Banks are all unique and home to rich histories. Whether exploring more of the island where our resort is found or taking day trips to other nearby spots, there are several great ways to explore more of what makes this North Carolina region special.
Northern Beaches
The villages of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head make up the island referred to as the Northern Beaches. See where the Wright Brothers took to the air back in 1903 at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, found only a short distance from our Outer Banks resort. Make your way to Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head to check out all you can do on sand dunes.
Roanoke Island
Roanoke Island is made up of two towns: Wanchese and Manteo. For those visiting during the summer, no visit to this region is complete without watching The Lost Colony outdoor drama, which explores the history and mystery around the Roanoke colony that just seemed to disappear.
