"Outer Banks"

[Green_Manelishi]

My wife and I are planning to visit the Outer Banks on our way to 'whereever' in NC.

For planning purposes we need some recommendations for what to see and target as a specific destination on Outer Banks.

The Museum of Graveyard of Atlantic sounds interesting.

What say you all (or is that y'all?)

Any (all) of the light houses, the aquarium at Manteo, Elizabeth II sailing vessel and the sand dunes at Kill Devil Hills.
These may help.

Many people start at the top (around the Nags Head / Corolla area) and drive all the way south to Hatteras. From there you can catch the ferry to Ocracoke, and from Ockracoke you have 2 ferry options back to the mainland. The outer banks and not very wide, and most of the attractions are right on hwy 12. The major exception to that is Manteo, which is worth the trip IMO and can be on the way if you take 64 to get to the outer banks.

I would say that no trip to the outer banks would be complete without the aquarium, the Wright Brother memorial, Kitty Hawk Dunes, Hatteras Lighthouse, Ockracoke Island, and a ride on at least 1 ferry.
