The Outer Banks of North Carolina
The Outer Banks of North Carolina® is a chain of barrier islands midway on the Atlantic Seaboard, 90 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia and 321 miles north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. From Virginia, we're accessible by Highways 168 and 158 and in North Carolina by Highway 64. Surrounded by 900 square miles of water, we have the third largest estuary system in the world, wildlife refuges, maritime forests, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the highest sand dunes on the East Coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park.
