Found just off the coast of North Carolina, the Outer Banks are an inviting chain of islands that offer beautiful beaches, national parks, and a rich history. Visit during the summer, when the weather is perfectly suited for fishing, birdwatching, camping, and enjoying the natural beauty of the islands.
