The Outer Banks, or the Banks, of North Carolina is a series of sand barrier islands and peninsulas. Rich in early American history, and known as "The Land of Beginnings", the Outer Banks are home to a series of historical firsts. The English first settled in the Outer Banks. In 1587 Roanoke Island was site of the birth of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Reginald Fessenden created the first successful, commercially-adaptable technique of radio communication in 1902. His early experiment took place by wire between Roanoke Island and a section station in Buxton. 1903 saw the Wright Brothers successfully fly a motor-driven, heavier than air, plane at Kill Devil Hill, just south of Kitty Hawk. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is the United States first National Seashore. And the list goes on.

Today's Outer Banks is a Outer Banks vacation rental guest's dream, whether it's the first visit, or the tenth. Visitors fill Outer Banks vacation rentals throughout the year to take in the unique ambiance of the Banks, and to take part in all the excellent outdoor activities.

The Geography of the Outer Banks

Stretching for more than 90 miles, this string of barrier islands reaches from the coast of Virginia's border south through Ocracoke and Portsmouth Islands. Surrounded by the Atlantic on the east and brackish waters on the west, the islands are accessible by boat, plane, or one of the many bridges connecting to the mainland. The islands' narrowest point can be as little as half a mile wide and, in some cases, stretch out for 20 miles off the coast of the North Carolina mainland. Nags Head, the northern section of the Banks, is connected to the mainland as a continuous sand ridge that extends well into the city of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The Banks are especially noted for their pristine conditions of clean waters, wide, sandy beaches, and unspoiled natural terrain.
