POSITIVE POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION
Northern Outer Banks NC A Different Destination yet close to Metro bases.
The Northern Outer Banks (NOBX) is remote in character from Metropolitan areas.Cross the bridge and you’re in another country!The National Seashore is a few miles south, between Duck and Corolla.On the northern boundary of Sanderling, discover the 12,000 acre Pine IslandAudubon Sanctuary overlooking historic duck hunting ponds and marshes.Walk or bike along nature trails to lookouts or kayak through old boating channels.Further north find the Currituck Lighthouse and beyond that the North Carolina Estuarine Reserve where you can drive on the beach and see wild horses.Miles of pristine beaches, clean, golden sand, semi-private, uncrowded.

A Gathering Destination from many points The Northern OBX is attractive to many families as an easily accessible gathering place from varied starting points. For three, or four, generation families and friends traveling from disparate locations, the Outer Banks is easily reached. Your Vacation Club concept works for Baby Boomers who like to gather their families together in large well appointed homes. Family members need the easy, varied and simple access offered by multiple possibility road and air travel to the NOBX.

Safe and secure. There is no history of crime in this area. Walk the beach at midnight and watch the luminescent tide without care. Families can relax on the beach without concern for intruders. (This is not always the case in off shore places).

Limited but satisfying commercial enclaves There are small charming shopping enclaves in Duck and Corolla. There is no strip commercial development along the highway. Instead, drive past waving grass on rolling dunes or ancient oaks and pines. The shops include galleries, eateries and interesting gift, sports and clothes emporia, owner operated and with select goods. There are several high quality restaurants in Duck as well as the Sanderling Inn and Corolla.

Climate The NOBX has a temperate climate for nine months of the year. From March until December, it is comfortable to be outdoors.The Gulfstream current warms the water in summer and through the FallThanksgiving and New Year are big family gathering times here, still lots of opportunity for outdoor activities for people of all ages and energies. Many Thanksgivings and Easters, people are dressed in shorts and can go swimming in the ocean.
