What the Outer Banks Is Known For
The Outer Banks is a barrier-island destination built around the water and the dunes — surfing, kiteboarding, fishing charters, and sand-dune activities at Jockey's Ridge State Park (the tallest natural sand dune system on the U.S. East Coast). It's also historically significant: Kill Devil Hills is where the Wright brothers made the first powered flight in 1903, commemorated at Wright Brothers National Memorial.
