The beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina has been a favorite vacation spot for decades. Swim in the Atlantic Ocean or on the sound side. The fishing is the best on the East Coast. The area is family friendly with lots of activities like miniature golf, movie theatres, go-carts, amusement parks, etc.
Nearby is the Wright Brothers Memorial and museum. Jockey's Ridge State Park contains the largest sand dune on the East Coast. In nearby Manteo, 'The Lost Colony' outdoor drama, playing nightly during the summer, is on the grounds of Fort Raleigh National Park, the site of the first English colony. The North Carolina Aquarium is also located in Manteo. Lighthouses are a short drive to the north and south.
