A Day at the Beach

Relax, you’re on island time! Kick off your shoes and enjoy the tranquil fishing villages of the Outer Banks. Should you choose to take your toes out of the sand between your long naps on the quiet beaches, the Outer Banks offers over 100 locally owned restaurants from bistros, seafood shacks, and beach dives!

North Carolina proudly carries the “First in Flight” title, and The Wright Brother’s National Memorial is a highly recommended attraction. Walk the grounds and see the markers signifying the successful launching and landing points by Wilbur and Orville Wright.

Visit the first established town in North Carolina, Bath. This quaint little town holds a rich history to Pirate Blackbeard, where he called home and spent his time ransacking ships. Today, the Outer Banks is known as the graveyard of the Atlantic as Blackbeard was beheaded and many claim they have seen his ghost swimming through the water in search of his head.

Enjoy an evening under the stars while learning the history of the first English colonies in North America! This musical production takes place on the sound front of Roanoke Island. The story of discovering the new world will come to life, and it will be an experience you will not soon forget!
