With so many miles of coastline, the oceanfront homes are the most popular. You can find numerous waterfront Kill Devil Hills rentals where all you have to do for a day of fun and excitement is walk down the back steps and stroll over to the beach that sits directly behind you.

There’s plenty else to do here too. Jockey’s Ridge (sand dune) is great place for hiking and kite flying. Depending on how adventurous you are, you could learn how to hang glide there, too. There’s plenty of shopping available, as well as golfing, miniature golfing, fishing, kayaking excursions and dolphin cruises. And if you’re a history buff don’t miss The Wright Brother’s Memorial. The Lost Colony, Fort Raleigh and Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo. See you soon!

How you enjoy the Outer Banks with its fun in the sun and water and outdoor adventure is just as personal as where you lay your head and call “home base” during your time here. There are thousands of options for Outer Banks vacation properties along the oceanfront or sound waters or anywhere in between.

While you’re visiting the Outer Banks there are some things you don’t want to miss seeing. The Currituck Lighthouse, where you can climb to the top, is a special treat for those who visit. You can stop at the Historic Whalehead Club for a picnic lunch and then visit the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. The East coast’s tallest sand dune is at Jockey’s Ridge State Park where you’ll get to see magnificent views. Don’t forget to bring your camera along! And if you’re into aeronautics you’ll want to see the Wright Brothers National Memorial where there are exhibits and reproductions of old gliders and flying machines on display.

Give Shoreline OBX a call today and we’ll set you up in one of our exquisite Outer Banks vacation properties.
