The Outer Banks is a coastal playground full of natural activities for both the novice and experienced adventurer. Whether bird-watching, hang gliding, wind-surfing, scuba diving, kite surfing, biking, or fishing some of the best angling waters in the world, the Outer Banks is the perfect backdrop for your adventure.

Events such as the Outer Banks Bike Week provide a sneak preview of the approaching summer. Learn how the Wright Brothers broke man's bond to the earth 100 years ago at the Wright Brothers National Memorial located within walking distance of Cambridge Cove.

Look up, down and out from The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in North Carolina. During the summer, visitors won't want to miss The Lost Colony, the longest running outdoor drama in America. Visitors can share in the breathtaking sunrises and endless strands of unspoiled beaches. Sample the tapestry of festivals, culture, seafood, water sports, romance and relax in the rich history and charm of The Outer Banks towns and villages.
