If you have been cooped up in your home for a long time, it\u2019s time to plan that overdue vacation. Whether you want to enjoy adventurous water sports or drown yourself in nature\u2019s tranquility, North Carolina\u2019s Outer Banks offer a myriad of ways to blow off steam.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Carolina\u2019s Outer Banks<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Outer Banks are a 200-mile string of barrier islands with water on both sides, providing endless opportunities to unwind, relax or explore your adventurous side. It has sprawling beaches and Sounds, along with fun activities including kayak tours, chartered fishing, jet ski rentals, diving and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Outer Banks is known for its quaint little <\/span>towns and villages<\/span><\/a> that attract tourists from across the country and the world. If you too are planning a family or solo vacation in the Outer Banks, here are some of the best attractions that you don\u2019t want to miss out on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nags Head <\/span><\/h2>\n

Are you hoping for a break from your busy city life? Nags Head offers remarkable hiking trails and walking paths. And if you\u2019re up for an adrenaline rush, you can also enjoy activities such as hang gliding and jet skiing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Duck & Corolla<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you ask anyone who has been to Outer Banks, Duck and <\/span>Corolla<\/span><\/a> will probably be on the top towns on their recommendation list. Duck is filled with some of the most exquisite natural landscapes. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are also plenty of dining options available in Duck as well as Corolla. Something I would highly suggest is horseback riding along serene waters in Corolla. If you\u2019re planning to spend a few days here, you can easily find reasonably-priced Duck oceanfront rentals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canadian Hole<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re seeking adventurous sports, then the <\/span>Canadian Hole<\/span><\/a> is going to satisfy your cravings. This is one of the best places to windsurf. <\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re not keen on windsurfing (like me), it\u2019s still so much fun watching windsurfers sailing over waters.  The Canadian Hole also has shallow waters, which is perfect if you\u2019re vacationing with young kids. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kill Devil Hills<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t let the name mislead you! Located in the middle of Outer Banks, <\/span>Kill Devil Hills<\/span><\/a> is heavenly. If you\u2019re hoping to buy souvenirs or gifts for your friends and family, there are many shops in this area. From unique crafts to charming cafes, it\u2019s certainly worth spending a few days here. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hoping to visit some of the actual locations used in the show, take a 7-hour road trip to Charleston to enjoy these spots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kiawah Island Golf Resort<\/span><\/h2>\n

Remember that dreamy Midsummer Night\u2019s soiree scene with the sublime sunset in the back, alluring flower crowns, elegant outfits, and of course, the essence of betrayal? That scene was filmed at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. <\/span><\/p>\n

This resort is the definition of luxury. Whether you\u2019re looking for high-end accommodation, a weekend of golfing against a gorgeous backdrop, or a spot to enjoy the best of seafood, this is the place for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shem Creek<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is nothing more picturesque than boating on <\/span>Shem Creek<\/span><\/a> on a sublime evening. The sunset we managed to catch was what Instagram dreams are made of. My kids also thoroughly enjoyed paddle boarding, and the fresh seafood was, of course, divine!<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Words<\/span><\/h2>\n

We can all agree that North Carolina\u2019s Outer Banks is the perfect place to seek some solace during these difficult times. And trust me, it\u2019s just as stunning in person, if not more! If you\u2019re trying to avoid big crowds, it\u2019s best to visit the Outer Banks between March to May or September to November.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
