NAGS HEAD, N.C., March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau is inviting the public to consider taking a road trip to the OBX this year, as generations of families have been doing to unwind and chase simple adventures on the fringe of the North Carolina coast. "Where else can you play in the same sand and water where pirates raided wooden ships, a devil of a drink was put on the map and the Wright Brothers made history?" suggests Lee Nettles, Executive Director. "It'll take a little driving to get here, thankfully, but a short trip across a long bridge instantly rewards road trippers with a choice of three islands. Roanoke Island, Hatteras Island and the Northern Beaches each have their own personality, like siblings, but they're all Outer Banks. Depending on how you like to vacation, one area will appeal to you most to book your accommodations, and we're here to help you figure out what would work best for you."

Key Points: 
  • Roanoke Island, Hatteras Island and the Northern Beaches each have their own personality, like siblings, but they're all Outer Banks.
  • "Our timeless towns make the perfect vacation headquarters for families who want to taste a little bit of everything that the Outer Banks has to offer, with easy drives to explore Roanoke Island and Hatteras Island for the day," explains Nettles.
  • Kitty Hawk gets a share of the First Flight credit, since it was the biggest community on the beach in those days.
