The Outer Banks of North Carolina is fast becoming the preferred choice for families looking for value-added vacations closer to home with all the fun in the sun this summer. Here is some of what the world is saying about our barrier islands: Coquina Beach in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, near Nags Head, NC is listed by Fodor’s as one of the 7 Best Family Beaches in the East, and Forbes Traveler has named Nags Head, NC as one of America’s Favorite Beach Towns. Trusted journalists and travel review outlets are celebrating the Outer Banks of North Carolina for its diversity and broad appeal to families, couples and seekers of outdoor recreation and adventure. And it’s absolutely gorgeous. In just a few hours drive, you can reach 130 miles of seemingly endless island beaches that will make you forget that you’re still in America’s backyard. Along with some of the largest remaining tracts of undeveloped coastline left in the country, that’s the beauty. We’re just a few hours away, but you’ll feel a million miles from the cares of home. You’ll also never have to worry about finding a place to park, or having quarters handy. Parking is free, and there’s enough for everyone. Our beaches are free to access, and with three islands, you can be as secluded or as sociable as you like.
