Beginning at the Beach


The Outer Banks of Carolina is one of the most charming, remote barrier island chains on the east coast of the USA. Imagine a single road almost 100 miles long with the beach on one side and the sound on the other side, a sliver of asphalt surrounded by the natural beauty of the shoreline. You can stop almost anywhere and experience being the only person on the beach. The sound of the waves lapping the shoreline, the best shells just ready to be found and wide expanse of open beachfront are just some of the exciting discoveries awaiting you. This is the best coastal playground for any adventurer.

History surrounds you on the Outer Banks of Carolina. The first location of English settlements at Roanoke Colony, the Wright brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk, Blackbeard the pirate, Aviation Pioneer Billy Mitchell and four lighthouses are just a few examples. It will take more than a few days to explore all the sites of the Outer Banks.
If you are an outdoor enthusiast this is the place to be. Some of the best surfing on the east coast, wind and kite surfing, bird watching, hand gliding, scuba diving, biking and fishing are at the top of the list of things to do. The Outer Banks of Carolina is the perfect backdrop for any outdoor adventure related to the beach.
A day on the Outer Banks has to include eating at any of the local restaurants. From big breakfasts to dinner feasts, there are numerous eateries awaiting you. A visit to the Outer Banks has to include savoring some of the seafood. Seafood is the mainstay of any of the menus you see, much of it caught by the local fishermen.
Please bookmark and visit us often to see updates. Our journey has just begun and will be quite lengthy and full of information that can only be discovered by those of us that live the life. To me, life is a beach, an Outer Banks beach.
