The Outer Banks of North Carolina Overview
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 and Southern Shores then Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo and Roanoke Island then across Oregon Inlet to Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras and 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.
