Stringing for more than 90 miles along the
coast from Virginia's border south through Ocracoke and
Portsmouth Islands, is a narrow strand of barrier islands
known as North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Bordered by bodies of brackish water on the west (known
as "sounds")
and by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, these fragile islands
are accessible by plane, boat, or by driving over one of
several bridges that provide links to the mainland. Source: Wikipedia
Pirate's Cove is
bordered by miles of blue sound water on one side and hundreds
of acres of protected salt marsh and wildlife preserve on the
other. Deep water canals weave through Pirate's Cove allowing
boat access at or near the back door of your obx vacation rental. The resort is also
located just minutes from the oceanfront. Pirate's Cove is the
perfect vacation destination for boating, fishing, surfing,
and all other things water related!
