#1 family vacation rating from US News and World report.
For residents and visitors it’s no surprise the US News and World Report rated the Outer Banks as the number one family vacation location in the United States. Check out their great Outer Banks Travel Guide, bursting with fun tips and suggestions for having a great stay on the OBX. Here is just a taste:
“History drips from the Outer Banks: Here, aviators Orville and Wilbur Wright took their famous first flight (at Kill Devil Hills), the pirate Blackbeard fought his last battle (at Ocracoke) and the mysterious Lost Colony disappeared (where is anyone’s guess). But this chain of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina – affectionately dubbed OBX – isn’t just for history buffs. Fishing, windsurfing and wildlife watching attract adventurous types, not to mention the 3,000 shipwrecks you can explore by scuba diving. Families gravitate toward the beaches, mini-golf courses and the North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island.”
