The Northern Outer Banks<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is a land of happy juxtapositions. The area encompasses the upper stretch of the Outer Banks, a string of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, but also a swath of the mainland on the other side of the Currituck Sound, so the culture is a mix of seafaring adventure and small town charm. Visitors to the Northern Outer Banks will delight in both pristine beaches and dunes and quaint downtowns where live oaks hover over shady streets. The area boasts wild horses that roam the sands and boutiques flanked by popular seafood restaurants. Show up for a couple of days, and you can challenge the rugged surf in the Atlantic or cruise the calm waters in the Currituck Sound. Spend your time strolling lonely beaches and perusing bustling downtowns\u2026You don\u2019t have to choose between wild or civilized when you visit the Northern Outer Banks, because this area offers both experiences. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Jason Weeks has worked to enhance and preserve the unique landscapes in the Northern Outer Banks for decades as the Currituck County Parks and Recreation Director. He never gets tired of exploring the wild coastline, quiet maritime forests and slow, meandering sound waters that make this corner of North Carolina so special. <\/span><\/p>

\u201c<\/span>What sets The Northern Outer Banks apart is the balance between untouched coastal wilderness and welcoming community spaces,\u201d Weeks says. \u201cThere are places where you can feel both the power of nature and the comfort of a small, connected community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Weeks believes that when visitors keep Outdoor NC Leave No Trace principles in mind, they have a chance to not only experience the duality of the Northern Outer Banks for themselves, but also preserve it for others to enjoy. <\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Northern Outer Banks is rich in sensitive habitats and Currituck County offers a full and unforgettable time outdoors, from marshes and forests to wide-open beaches,\u201d Weeks says. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to share it with you.\u201d <\/span><\/p>

Make your way to Historic Corolla Park<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, which is free and offers wide open green spaces along the waterfront where you can stroll, fish or search for crabs in the sound. This park is also home to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, where you can climb 220 steps to the top for an inspiring view, as well as Whalehead, a museum housed in a 1920s era architectural masterpiece. Spend your time strolling the perimeter paths or relax along the sound side. The park also features a one-of-a-kind kids play area which includes play equipment that mimics the wildlife of the area. Historic Corolla Park draws a lot of different guests, which makes it a wonderful opportunity for you to Share the Outdoors, being mindful of your noise and allowing other visitors to enjoy the park in their own way. Being considerate of other users helps maximize the enjoyment of the great outdoors for everyone. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When you get hungry, there are plenty of local favorites close to Historic Corolla Park offering fresh seafood, sandwiches and shaded outdoor seating. My favorite is Uncle Ike\u2019s Sandbar and Grill<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, which is just a short walk from the beach access and to the Historic Corolla Park. The spot is famous for its locally sourced comfort food, like firecracker shrimp and chicken wings topped with crab meat. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For a lesser-known gem, visit Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge<\/a><\/strong><\/span> on Knotts Island, a remote and sparsely populated sliver of land in the Currituck Sound reachable by ferry. The Great Marsh Trail offers a peaceful walk with expansive wetland views and excellent birdwatching. If you prefer water, rent a kayak at the sound side, or bring your own, and paddle the calm waters around Currituck Sound, watching for herons, and osprey. Regardless of how you get around the island, remember to Keep Wildlife Wild and maintain a respectful distance from local creatures. Observing these animals from a distance helps reduce their stress associated with human contact. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

End your day along the mainland waterfront at Sound Park in Point Harbor. This community park features a fishing pier, picnic areas, sporting fields, and one of the county\u2019s best sunset vantage points over the sound. It\u2019s also packed with local restaurants. My recommendation would be BJ\u2019s Carolina Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, which offers a mix of seafood and southern staples like fried chicken. Pick up dinner and enjoy it outdoors as the sky shifts from gold to deep pink. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Start your morning at Currituck Banks Reserve<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a 965-acre park that offers a diverse landscape full of ocean beaches, dunes, marshland and maritime forest.

This massive site includes walking trails, open fields, a fishing pond and equestrian facilities. It\u2019s one of our most versatile recreation areas, ideal for families, cyclists, dog walkers and anyone who wants space to roam.

No trip to the Northern Outer Banks is complete without trying to spot the Corolla wild horses<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, which are descendants of Spanish mustangs that now roam free along the dunes of Corova Beach. The best way to see the horses is on a guided tour, which will have you in a 4WD vehicle moving slowly along the beach. Bring a telephoto lens, so you can capture photos of the animals while still maintaining a safe distance, which helps preserve their wild habits without human interference. Giving the horses enough space will also reduce the chances of incidental contact, keeping both you and the animals safe. With any luck, you\u2019ll see dolphins in the water as well. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
