Exploring The Outer Banks of North Carolina
The Outer Banks of North Carolina, also known at the OBX, is a place I’ve always wanted to visit for I’ve heard there are some striking similarities in the landscape there and to the east coast island I call home (Nantucket).
My friend Kirsten Alana and I flew into Norfolk, about a two hour drive down, to explore Dare Country in the Outer Banks for four days.
While you can’t control the weather, you can control how much fun you have in it. We found a great amount to do in the Outer Banks in all the elements: sunshine, grey skies, or sprinkles from the sky. Because we were kind of all over the place, I’m going to give you my favorites from the trip.
There’s so much to see and do from Duck all the way down to Hatteras Island.
We spent our first two nights in Manteo at the Tranquil Inn. One of my favorite activities was boring a sailboat just out back and sailing the Roanoke Sound with the husband and wife team behind Sail The Outer Banks.
Making the sea to table connection, we visited Oneal’s Seafood at the Southern end of Roanoke Island one rainy morning and watched the fisherman offload their catch.
A visit to the Outer Banks would not be complete without a local brew - We sampled four at wind powered Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills.
Climb the 219 stairs to the top of Bodie Island Lighthouse in Cape Hatteras National Seashore and National Parks Service in Nags Head. The interior on the climb up is just as photogenic as the views are when you reach the top.
Up in Duck, stay ta the Sanderling Resort and do not miss having a long dinner at Kimball’s Kitchen. On property, bike, SUP, kayak, or laze around the pool and hot tub. Not far away, get an organic body treatment at the Aqua Restaurant + Spa. I loved my facial!!!
And of course seeing how sea turtles are rehabilitated was a special treat inside the Aquarium.
The trip wouldn’t be complete without hopping on a white horse and riding with Hatteras Island Horseback Riding.

Hatteras NC 2015 Trip
Hatteras is an unincorporated community in Dare County, North Carolina, in the United States. The Outer Banks Island of Hatteras, North Carolina linking it to Frisco, Avon, and Ocracoke just a ferry ride away. The name Hatteras was used by the Fort Raleigh colonists in reference to Pea Island, located north of modern day Hatteras Island. The village of Hatteras retained its historical name.
The Light house is another attraction to view and clime to the top to see the land and ocean. To catch the wind as you walk around, watch the surfers, the sail kits, and more. With tourism’s continuing year after year and from generation to generation bringing wave after wave of sons and daughters to the sea.

OBX Cedar Island to Ocracoke Island Ferry North Carolina
Nearly 10 percent of North Carolina is underwater, and most of those 5,200 square miles of water are in the Coastal Plain in the form of inlets, sounds and rivers.
Early settlers were challenged to cross these waters by boats, and some ferries were established to transport people, wagons and livestock. Eventually, as automobiles began to roll off assembly lines in the early 20th century, people wanted to take their motorized vehicles with them on these ferries.
One of the true pioneers in North Carolina’s ferry industry was J. B. “Toby” Tillett, a commercial fisherman, who in 1924 started a tug and barge service from Wanchese on Roanoke Island to Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks, between Bodie and Pea islands in Dare County. Tillett’s barge was capable of transporting two cars at a time.
According to an article written by David Stick that appeared in the June 1949 issue of Our State magazine, Tillett asked his passengers to hoist a flag up the staff at the ferry landing when they were ready to cross. He would see the flag and come get them. Stick’s story said Tillett was running a regular schedule of seven round-trips a day by 1928.
Tillett built and launched the Barcelona in 1931, which could handle 14 cars at a time. He charged $2 per vehicle one-way, Stick wrote.
In 1934, the North Carolina Highway Commission began subsidizing Tillett’s business, and the fee was reduced to $1 each way.
The North Carolina ferry system was created in 1947, when the state purchased a ferry service operated by Thomas A. Baum that ran across Croatan Sound in Dare County, connecting Manns Harbor and Roanoke Island. This became the first “official” route operated by the state ferry operation. Hence, 2017 marks the 70-year anniversary of the establishment of the North Carolina ferry system.
In 1950, the state bought Tillett’s ferry business as well.
In 1957, the state began running regular ferry service between Hatteras Island in Dare County and Ocracoke Island in Hyde County.
Ferry access came to Carteret County in 1959, when a private company began service between Ocracoke and the Town of Atlantic in the Down East section of Carteret County. This run was abruptly halted the following year because of damage done by Hurricane Donna.
The state purchased the operation in May 1961 and soon thereafter resumed service to Ocracoke. This became the first toll ferry in the state system. In 1964, the southern docks were moved from Atlantic to Cedar Island, cutting the crossing time by 75 minutes.
The next route to be added crossed Currituck Sound between Currituck and Knotts Island in Currituck County; the route from Southport in Brunswick County to Fort Fisher in New Hanover County was established in 1965; and the Bayview-Aurora route crossing the Pamlico River in Beaufort County was added in 1966.
Beginning in 1973, service across the Neuse River was added, connecting Minnesott Beach in Pamlico County with Cherry Branch in Craven County. The Swan Quarter-Ocracoke route was the last to be added in 1977, finally providing the residents of Ocracoke with a direct link to their county seat (Swan Quarter) in Hyde County.
Over the years, certain routes became obsolete as bridges were built, providing even easier transport to and from the islands. The original Baum route was replaced by the Manns Harbor Bridge and later the Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge, while the original Tillett route was discontinued in 1963 upon the grand opening of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge.
Today, the NC Ferry Division is a unit of the NC Dept. of Transportation (NCDOT). There are 22 vessels in the fleet with more than 400 ferry system employees. North Carolina’s ferry operation is the second largest state-run program in the nation. Only Washington state’s is larger.
This economic impact is likely to increase dramatically due to new signage that was installed in the spring of 2016 along the route of the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway, which includes U.S. 70 and N.C. 12 in Carteret County. Officially, the byway is 137.8 miles in length. (For the benefit of international travelers, that translates to 221.8 kilometers.)
Only 150 routes across America have attained the distinction of being labeled National Scenic Byways. The official guidebook says: “Leave the mainland behind and come to the most romantic byway in North Carolina – the Outer Banks Scenic Byway … a must for any traveler looking to escape to a time of front porch talks and simple maritime living.”
The longest ferry rides are the 26.4-mile crossing from Ocracoke to Swan Quarter (2.5 hours each way) and the 22.6-mile route from Ocracoke to Cedar Island (2.25 hours each way). Fares are charged for these routes as well as the Southport-Fort Fisher run. The other four state ferry routes are free.

????OUR STOREFRONT:
The Outer Banks are barrier islands off the coast of the U.S. state of North Carolina, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland. Their open-sea beaches, state parks and shipwreck diving sites make them a popular holiday destination. Roanoke Island was the site of England’s first settlement in the New World, an endeavor sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh.

10 Minute Tourist: The Outer Banks of North Carolina
Take a trip to the Outer Banks to see Cape Hatteras, including the famous lighthouse. Also you'll visit Kitty Hawk, where the Wright Brothers launched the Age of Aviation, and Fort Raleigh, site of the Lost Colony. We finish with a trip through the beautiful Elizabethan Gardens.
I drove through North Carolina's Outer Banks. This is what I saw.
Did you know North Carolina's entire coast is made of islands?
In this video, I headed to the lower outer banks, made of barrier islands, south of Wilmington, North Carolina.
We visited Pleasure Island, home to Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. This island, as well as others along the North Carolina coast, was hit hard by many hurricanes in the last three years, including Hurricane Dorian, Hurricane Florence, and Hurricane Matthew.
Along the way, we saw beach homes which are used for summer homes as rentals, some of the shops and places to eat. There isn't a lot on this island - and perhaps 10,000 people live here.
