Outer Banks Of NC

THE FIRST ENGLISH SETTLEMENT... the FIRST POWERED FLIGHT...

the FIRST OUTDOOR DRAMA.....

In so many ways, America begins on North Carolina's Outer Banks!

The land of beginnings, some call it.  This is where England first attempted to colonize the Americas, with disastrous results for the 'lost' Colony.  The Wright Brothers defied gravity from a sandy dune not far from the windswept beach and brought mankind into the aviation age.

And the American government, determined to protect this fragile environment, set aside much of these islands as the country's first National Seashore.  Cape Hatteras National Seashore now preserves some of the finest beaches in the country.

But the Outer Banks are much more than a living lesson in history and ecology.  These sandy barrier islands are a special place where time seems to slow.  Where breathtaking beauty envelops the spirit and sets it soaring, luring visitors back year after year.
