Top 5 Activities to do In the Outer Banks

When you visit the Outer Banks sometimes it is hard to decide what activities you should take on besides sunning on the beautiful beaches.  After all most people have a week to see everything unless you buy a house and move here which I would love to help you with!

1.  See the wild horses – Wild horses have roamed in several areas in the Outer Banks for centuries.  According to Spanish ship logs it is estimated that the first horses arrived on the Outer Banks around 1520.  In order to see the horses you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle and if you don’t own one there are several companies that will take you on a wild horse tour in Corolla, share the history of the horses and place you within a friendly distance of the horses.  (it is the law that you cannot be closer than 50 feet from the horse and you are not allowed to feed the wild horses.



2.  Visit Jockey’s Ridge State Park – Jockey’s Ridge Park has the largest natural living sand dune on the east coast.  It is located in Nags Head and a must see landmark.  Take time to fly a kite, hang-glide. Sand slide or even hike one of the trails. 

3.  Go fishing – Here in the Outer Banks you can choose your fishing adventure from renting a charter, surf fishing or fishing from one of our piers.  You are bound to have fun and bring home dinner too!

4.  Spend a day on Roanoke Island – From the beautiful Elizabethan Gardens, to the North Carolina Aquarium, onto an evening with The Lost colony.  You will find an adventure for everyone in your group. 
 
5.  See the Lighthouses – The Outer Banks has several unique lighthouses that you can visit and even climb.  Whether you visit one or all of them you will enjoy the unique beauty of each of the lighthouses on the Outer Banks.  


There is so much to see and do in the Outer Banks – here are some websites that can help you plan your visit.   Have fun and enjoy the Outer Banks!
