Bodie Island Lighthouse

8210 Bodie Island Lighthouse Road, Nags Head, United States, 27959In terms of structure, Bodie is a twin to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse at the far northern end of the Outer Banks. The Bodie Island Light Station has a distinct paint job: horizontal black and white stripes. That helped mariners back in the day know which lighthouse they were looking at - and it also helps us take really great photos! One of the most awesome things to do here or at any lighthouse is to climb it. There’s a season for climbing, but lucky for us, it coincides with visitor season. The view from the top is epic, to say the least.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

46379 Lighthouse Rd, , Buxton, United States, 27920As well as being the tallest brick lighthouse in the country, the Cape Hatteras Light Station is painted with a memorable, black and white candystripe design. If available, it's fun to climb the lighthouse. Also see where the building was relocated from and tidelines keep rising. You may even recognize the lighthouse as a location often first-battered by hurricanes threatening to make landfall along the coastline. Also in the area, be sure to check out the towns of Hatteras and Buxton, and the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is worth a few fascinating hours.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Cape Hatteras National Seashore

North Carolina Highway 12, , United States, 27915The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a stretch of approximately 70 miles south of Nag's Head. Much of it is natural, and sometimes a little wild, but it's a beautiful drive to explore. Though we will enjoy some longer sections of zero development, there are seven small towns heading that way including Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton and Hatteras Village. We have a couple of very cool lighthouses at Bodie Island and Cape Hatteras itself. Driving this way is a great day out, with lots of space on open beaches and it's definitely less crowded feeling than the towns to the north. If you enjoy beachcombing for shells - that's the way to go. 1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Corolla

Corolla, United StatesThis is the end of the road driving as far north as we can on the North Carolina Outer Banks. Beyond seeing where the pavement meets the sand, there are several cool things to see including the Currituck Lighthouse and associated historic buildings like the lightkeeper's residence. From a more gilded time - the Whalebone Club was once a somewhat decadent seeming duck hunting lodge. And the protected waters of the Currituck Sound are well worth enjoying - the Whalebone Club is a good place to do that.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Duck

Duck, United StatesOf the towns north of Kitty Hawk, Duck enjoys a true town center-feeling unlike the others. It's well worth exploring and taking some time to walk the waterfront boardwalk - that extends into the water in many places.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Fort Raleigh National Historic Site

1401 National Park, Manteo, United States, 27954Way back in the 1580s, an English colony was established at the north end of Roanoke Island. It only lasted a few years before the colonists disappeared without a trace, and to this day, we really don't 100% know what became of them. You can visit the site where their fort stood, learn about their lives and disappearance, then watch The Lost Colony, the longest-running outdoor drama in America, which tells a dramatic interpretation of the events surrounding the mystery of the failed colony.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Jennette's Pier

7223 S Virginia Dare Trl, , Nags Head, United States, 27959-9129There are 3 excellent piers that jut out into the Atlantic Ocean along the Outer Banks. Jennette's might be the most famous and is located at Nag's Head. Having been rebuilt 3 times - the last time in concrete - the pier is lovely for a short stroll, or for a slightly higher activity level - a popular place to fish from. Fishing equipment and bait are available right at the pier. You'll also find a small aquarium at the location too. For a taste of local flavor, opposite the Pier is Sam and Omie's - a tavern/diner that is an OBX favorite for its decor, food and tradition. It started out as the place the fishermen would take their breakfast before heading off to work.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
