    August 2022 Update: This video was filmed in the summer of 2021. All the attractions that made our top ten list are still in existence. But the exact prices, times and details of these experiences may have changed in the months since. There is a lot to love in the Outer Banks. Thanks for watching!
    We love visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina! This island destination is known for great beaches. Visitors travel here each summer to experience the swimming, surfing and fishing off the islands of OBX. But what else is there to do? Here is our list of our favorite ten things to do in the Outer Banks other than typical beach activities. There are so many attractions that are fun for all ages and we will tell you all about them here. We talk about the history and the natural beauty that is found here. We'll also visit monster trucks, waterslides, shops and restaurants along the way. We love this resort area. If you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks, we are sure you will love it too!

    I just got back from the Outer Banks and didn’t go to the beach once (I’m handicapped and can’t walk on the sand), but my kids and grandkids went every afternoon. Mornings and afternoons were spent at lighthouses, eating at the many wonderful restaurants, and going to The Lost Colony Outdoor Play. It was the BEST vacations that I ever had! 😉

      And don’t forget the amazing NC Aquarium in Manteo!

      Glad to hear you had a great trip! We really love the area as well. We love the beach but there is plent to do other than the beach as you saw. We really enjoyed the play when we saw it. Thanks for watching!

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We haven't made it to the NC Aquarium yet. But we want to! We were going to go last summer but it was still closed due to the pandemic then. We visited again this year but had too many other things to do. We hope to visit the aquarium next time we are in the area. We hear good things! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such kind comments!

      If you ever go back again (or to any beach/coastal town) beach accessible where chairs are able to be rented. They have large fat tires that can roll through loose sand. We had one years ago. It worked wonderfully! Glad to hear you had a great time, despite mobility issues!

    • @KathyOnOBX
      @KathyOnOBX 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good news Mark Thompson (@markthompson7727) and @maemdcleary! Now the OBX has fat-tire wheelchairs made especially for going on the beach / sand, and they're available *at no charge* on a first come, first serve basis for the beaches at Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head!

    I graduated high school in 1986 and the next day I was on a Greyhound bus to Nags Head. I used to live behind Jockeys Ridge and built houses in Corolla. What surprised me the most was Duck area....WoW. From Duck to Corolla was just a dirt road with no stores past Duck, times surely changes.

    I live 90 minutes away and have been going down to OBX almost every summer for more than 40 years. It's changed so much during that time and I love it just as much now as I did as I child. As soon as we hit the island coming off of the Wright Memorial Bridge, I slip into OBX mode, just a general feeling of peace and relaxation. Great video but you didn't mention the N.C. Aquarium. Definite top 10 in my book.

    • @KathyOnOBX
      @KathyOnOBX 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @kaburgess69... we like your vibe! The state of mind is what we call "Being on Island Time" here on the OBX. We live on Island Time! Relaxed, laid back, do what you want when you get around to it. :)

    I have been going to OBX since I was a kid, back before any of the big tourist attractions came around and the area was more wild. We would ALWAYS go play putt-putt in the cool evenings at the course at the base of Jockeys Ridge...BEST putt-putt ever!!! I was sad that the dunes eventually took it over, so many wonderful memories. I had hoped to have shared that experience with my kids when they were little but by then only the top of the castle was visible. OBX is my happy place, the best retreat ever!!

    I was very fortunate to be an intern at the First Colony Inn from 97 to 99. Thank you for the great memories, unfortunately I lost all my photos of my time there in an incident a few years ago. I saw the lost colony play a few times and was very lucky to go behind the scenes the last night of rehearsals.

    @TripNWithRed 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My son keeps telling me that was one of his favorite places he's ever been. He and his wife honeymooned there. My grandson would love the monster truck attraction. I would love the ships. I love the old architecture on some of these homes and church. Lighthouses are incredible. The Wright Brothers museum would be awesome. The sound side Boardwalk would be the most relaxing place ever. That view is incredible. Great video.

    • @trvlnthru

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We love the Outer Banks! It is our favorite travel destination that doesn’t involve a castle and a giant mouse. There really is a lot to do and see in the Outer Banks. This one was pretty successful. People seem to watch our Outer Banks videos more than our Disney videos. I guess it is because there is a lot more competition with Disney videos. But we will keep going to both places and people will watch what they watch, I suppose. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    These are some great highlights of the Outer Banks! I went here a fair amount as a kid, and would have loved a water park back then!!

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the water park is only about 3 or 4 years old. It is a nice addition to the area. This was our first visit there even though we go to the Outer Banks fairly often. We love the Outer Banks so much! It is probably our favorite vacation spot that doesn’t have a giant talking mouse. Thanks for watching!

    Fantastic video friends! You always give so much great information and narrate so well. I have to say of course the top of my list would be the light houses. The Digger dungeon looked like a lot of fun, it was my favorite monster truck and who doesn't love a water park, for me the lazy river. Thanks for sharing and keep up with the great content, you guys are doing amazing!

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The lighthouses are great to visit. I love seeing them. Jack loves climbing to see the view from the top but I like it just fine from the ground. Digger’s Dungeon is a lot of fun. I have never really watched monster trucks. So I didn’t even understand what I was looking at sometimes. But Jack was really into monster trucks when he was young and he was so excited when we visited. Thanks so much for watching and for leaving such kind comments!

    Our kids would have loved to ride the monster trucks when they were younger. We used to take them to monster jam every year lol!! This is giving us so many great beach vibes!! Love all the different activities you can do here!! Looks like a great beach to visit!! Love all the lighthouses!!! Beautiful garden!!! You guys do such a great job with your reviews!!! 😁

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There really is so much to do and see in the Outer Banks! Jack was very excited about the monster truck rides as he used to be into Monster Jam when he was younger. And Grave Digger was his favorite. I didn’t really know what I was looking at but it made him happy! If you ever visit the Carolinas, we highly recommend checking the area out. There are some nice campgrounds too. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @FLACKFAM
    @FLACKFAM 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a smart idea to get people to go back to your videos if they want to learn more about these places! The lighthouses would be my go to! The water park looked fun too! Beautiful gardens! I was pretty sure the wild horses would be your favorite, it really seemed like an amazing excursion!

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, we thought it would be a good way to bring attention to older videos for people who are planning vacations to the area. Though the water park and the play were new attractions that we just experienced on a visit in the last month. That wild horse tour was such a cool experience. And we love seeing the lighthouses too. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @KathyOnOBX
    @KathyOnOBX 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Very nice video! As a local living on the OBX I'd like to mention that the Grave Digger, as you said, is NOT on the Outer Banks and we locals consider it quite a drive off island. The HBOBX Water Park is also not on the Outer Banks. Outer Banksers like to be clear on those distinctions. No harm, no foul. :)
    Manteo is pronouned "Manny-oh". The Lost Colony play that runs there all summer decided in 2021 to employ only Native American actors in the Native American parts of the play. Andy Griffith used to be an actor in the play as a very young man. His private estate is also on Roanoke Island in Manteo, and his wife continues to live there. Oh, and the real lost colony probably moved to Hatteras Island to live with natives there.
    While Ocracoke is a fantastic place to visit or live, it is technically not the most southern island of the Outer Banks. A few islands south of Ocracoke are also considered part of OBX, including Portsmouth Island and Cedar Island.
    The northernmost "island" of the Outer Banks, from Nags Head to Corolla and Corova, is not really an island at all! There is a landbridge on the northern end, just north of Corolla then Corova which connects to Virginia! It cannot be transversed, however. For this reason that "island" is usually referred to as "the northern beaches".
    Welcome to all of our visitors, past present and future! There are so many great things to see and do here it takes more than one visit. We all enjoy our visitors! Come back soon!

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @TravelSmallLiveBig, love your name here! There is a new place in Manteo ("manny-oh") where you could leave your dog in doggy daycare for the day if you wanted to go take one of the Corolla Wild Horse Tours! It's owned by one of the daughters of the veterinarians right down the street at Roanoke Island Animal Hospital, some wonderful people! I'll get the name of the doggy daycare and post it here. :)

    Great Dunes, pity about the Golf Course and Castle. Diggers Dungeon sounds pretty cool. The Roanoke Island Park sounds like its the type of place I would visit, full of early settlers history. Historic Carolla Park sounds awesome. I would love to visit the mansion. I love Houselights. We also have some wonderful Lighthouses in Australia. H202X Water park, Yeah! Wright Bros memorial park, how awesome. Fort Releigh sounds like another interesting place to explore. Beautiful Gardens and fountain. I would definitely watch the play if I was there. The Duck Board Park sounds great too. Wow! it would be great to see the Wild Spanish Horses. It looks like a beautiful place Alice and Jack. have a great weekend. Thank you for sharing another great episode. 👍🏼

    We live on the OBX. Next month (November) Jockey's Ridge is having a nightime "Kites With Lights" festival! Lots of people will be flying kites with lights on them in the dunes! Living here there is a lot of fun stuff like that to do!
    The Pirate Ship on Roanoke Island near the Festival Park in Manteo ("manny-oh") has sailed away and is now anchored in Florida! We miss them!
    You're so right! The Lost Colony settlers did move to what is now Hatteras Island to live with the natives there! Don't tell anyone though. Shhhh! ;)
    Another super fun thing to do here that not many people know about is to take a sunset sail on the sailboat "Movin' On". The cost is reasonable and it's a two hour sail on the Albemarle Sound while the sun is setting on the western horizon. The experience, the smell of the salt water, the spray in your face on a hot early evening and the feeling of being away from it all is one of our favorite things to do here! The Captain, owner of the sailboat, is a 4th generation Outer Bankser! Legend says his Great Grandfather was the photographer of the Wright Brothers' First Flight! They provide light snacks and it's bring your own beverages as long as they are not in glass containers! www.sailingouterbanks.com/

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That would make a great gift… though the monster truck rides only run in the summer from what we have been told so if you use that as a Christmas gift, she wouldn’t be able to experience the ride until the next summer. We would LOVE to find a shipwreck! We recently visited the Outer Banks and were reading about where to find them. One was recently moved to a museum and one was hard to find. That is cool that you found one. Thanks for watching!

    The monster truck thing and wild horse tour looks so amazing but Jakii has decreed if we ever go, were going to the historical sites and the lighthouses (the river one was so weird!!!!). The duck boardwalk name was misleading xD they need to have a duck Cafe or something.

      The river lighthouse was weird. Like someone’s house with a light attached to the top.

    Those of us that no longer have school-aged children go to Hatteras Island much less traffic, noise and crowding. Those with children stay on Bodie Island more box stores, commercial restaurant and children oriented experience. I fear they will destroy your vacation otherwise saying "I'm Bored". A day trip down to Hatteras and Oracoke would be a great get a away for them though as there is the shipwreck museum and the penned ponys along with piers, and 2 more lighthouses to explore.
    There are wonderful owner operator restaurants with fresh catch to eat at. Many charter fishing businesses.
    I always feel like I live in the neighborhood when I stay on Hatteras and never want to leave.
    And throughout the OBX you can find excellent photography companies to do a family beach shot. The price is worth the memories on your home wall.
    I have lost my heart to OBX since my first vacation there when I went for their small but worthy Bike Week. I go to the bikes weeks not for vendors but for the local riding and this may be straight but there's nothing quite like it, at some areas you feel so close to the ocean you could reach out and touch it.
    Have fun!

    I can imagine retiring down their! Riding bikes along the beach! Driving an electric sports car! Cruising along the bridge! Fishing and Kayaking! Solar Pannels of course. That or buying some land in the plains of Kansas to put a dream home their one day! Both options are great because I love quiet and remote places near small towns! It's very hard to choose since I'll have the money one day to do both, but which one will I regret! I love storms but don't want to worry about hurricanes all the time... Just tornados, and I'll have the money to make a tiny tornado proof home on like 2.4 acres of land, with again an electric sports car hehe, but it's so hard to decide on what activities would I really want to do once I have the money! For now, I just want to come home and ride a dirt bike or chase storms, and grab something to eat, then relax! Listen to the wind chimes... ETC! I just hate water in a way that I don't feel safe near their cause you really need a partner for doing certain activities! :/ Oh How ever I do love Mini Golf, Seafood, hoping to find a great Mexican restaurant their one day, and the water park seems pretty huge and new. We've been down their as kids so I'm sure the beaches are more crowded now days... Welp, I think I'd have to go with the more activities. But I do want to go storm chasing. One day in Kansas Plains!! I love flatness!! I'd be afraid I'd tried to ride a wild horse hehe!
