The Outer Banks in North Carolina is largely known as a beach destination…but you can get a nice heavy dose of history there too! There is something for everyone if you decide to spend some time out there…definitely can’t be seen all in one day!

If you go to Hatteras in the off season (think before Memorial Day and after Labor Day) you may need to check and make sure that certain restaurants are open.
However, there are many places that are at least open for part of the day year round…and yes, even when it’s cold kids like ice cream. The Happy Belly was a fan favorite.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is a National Park (bring those stamp books!) and a great way to spend a couple hours walking around.
