The Outer Banks of North Carolina is a well-known spot on the globe. On a narrow strip of sand protecting the area's "inner banks" and forming shallow basins of brackish waterways is a collection of small communities that occupy the strip of sand known as "The Outer Banks" precariously like single-file jewels on a too narrow ribbon carelessly cast off...Carova, Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras, Ocracoke. Each Outer Banks community reaches across the barrier island sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the inner waterways as a destination for residents and visitors. Each community has its own appeal for the vacationers who return to the same community (and often the same vacation rental home) every year. Outer Banks vacationers often become Outer Banks real estate owners.

Carova (popularly known as the 4-wheel-drive area) has unpaved roads, wide deserted beaches, and wild horses. Corolla has a charming historic village, the Currituck Lighthouse, the Whalehead Club at Heritage Park, and high-end vacation rental homes in neighborhoods like Corolla Light, Whalehead, Monteray Shores, Buck Island, Pine Island, Ocean Sands, and the Currituck Club. In June, 2006, the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education opened at Heritage Park near the Currituck Lighthouse. Carova and Corolla are at the north end of the Outer Banks near the Virginia border and are part of Currituck County. This part of Currituck is accessible from the mainland only by driving north on Highway 12 through the Dare County towns of Southern Shores and Duck or by boat.

South of Corolla and in Dare County, the first town is Duck, a small incorporated town with a very charming walking village of classy and eclectic shops surrounded by high-end vacation rental homes. Last year, the town of Duck opened a beautiful public park on the soundside near the center of town where shoppers can relax while children enjoy the playground equipment.

The next dot on the map traveling south on Highway 12 is Southern Shores, notable for its concentration of full-time residents and second-home owners.

Kitty Hawk, just south of Southern Shores, and now home to the Hilton Garden Inn also has many full-time residential areas on the sound side. Kitty Hawk has the widest land mass of the Outer Banks and the only bridge, the Wright Memorial, connecting the Outer Banks to the mainland of Currituck and Highway 158/168. The bridge is three miles long, connecting Currituck to Dare County at the narrowest passage of the Currituck Sound between Dare and Currituck counties. The bridge was opened in 1930 and was crossed 1150 times within 10 days of opening.
