North Carolina’s Outer Banks are a prominent barrier-island landform on the United States’ east coast. A vast green watershed, varied blues of the rivers, sounds and ocean and the white strip of sand edging the islands are the natural world that shapes the unique culture celebrated along the Outer Banks Scenic Byway.
