Outer Banks Named to Coastal Living's "Ten Best Road Trips"
In the September issue of Coastal Living magazine the Outer Banks is named to "The Ten Best Road Trips" list. The Outer Banks was chosen as the second best road trip in America! This reinforces the recent selection by National Geographic that put the Outer Banks in the top list of "Drives of a lifetime."
Outer Banks' famous Rt.12 that stretches from the northernmost beach to the Ocracoke ferry is an amazing ride through pristine nature. The journey brings travelers through the natural beauty of the Outer Banks, including national parks and quaint seaside villages full of majestic vacation rental properties.
Here is what Coastal Living had to say about this road:
OUTERBANKS, NORTH CAROLINA
Why we love it: Map aficionados can't help but be drawn to this arch of islands curving out from North Carolina's coast like a spinnaker taking wind. Small towns dot the islands' landscapes of dunes and long, sweeping beaches. (Nights in Rodanthe was filmed here.) Create a circuit by taking U.S. highways 17, 158, and 64. Back on the mainland, weave through marshlands and historic towns like Edenton.
Please pull over: The Rodanthe house is called "Serendipity" and is the northernmost oceanfront home on Hatteras Island.
