There are a variety of Outer Banks attractions within the 150-mile stretch of peninsulas and
barrier islands off the North Carolina mainland. A place of natural unspoiled
beauty. A home to lighthouses and wild ponies. The largest protected seashore
and the highest natural sand dune on the Atlantic coast. And everywhere is
evidence of the area's rich history.
Long before Pirate's Cove, Roanoke Island was home to the first
English settlement in 1585, the mysterious Lost Colony. The infamous
pirate Blackbeard prowled these waters.The Graveyard of the Atlantic
is here right off of our coast. In 1903, the Wright brothers
gave birth to man-powered flight here at the Outer Banks in Kitty
Hawk, NC. From the earliest native Americans to present-day visitors,
people have been drawn in waves to the land, wind and water known
as the Outer Banks, NC.
Whether you're interested in some of the best fishing in the
world, great golf, long wide sandy beaches, or just getting away
to relax, the Outer Banks provides the perfect beach vacation.
American history, educational attractions, state and national
parks surround Pirate's Cove!
