If you are planning a family vacation this summer that will involve OBX rentals somewhere along the chain of barrier islands, you should consider Hatteras Island rentals if you like lighthouses. There, you will find the tallest lighthouse made of brick in the US at over 200 feet. However, if you decide instead to go with Nags Head vacation rentals, you can enjoy the amazing Jockey’s Ridge State Park, which holds the highest sand dune you will find anywhere on the East Coast at a staggering ninety feet. The Wright Brother’s National Monument in Kitty Hawk is only a stone’s throw from Nags Head vacation rentals as well and you could easily visit it just as more than 447,000 people did in 2011. You could even go for a Kitty Hawk rental instead and feel even closer to the Wright Brothers.
By enjoying Nags Head vacation rentals or OBX vacation rentals, you will also be in the same place that the fabled lost colony of Roanoke was where more than 100 men, women, and children disappeared at some point between 1587 and 1590. One of the members of that colony was Virginia Dare who was born at Fort Raleigh in 1857 as the first English child to be born on the shores of what would later become the US and you can learn more about her from Nags Head vacation rentals. Choosing Nags Head vacation rentals or Outer Banks rentals is a great idea because you will be centrally located to many of the great attractions in the Outer Banks.
However, if you decide that you would instead like to stay in Corolla NC rentals, you will only be a little north of Nags Head. Moreover, Corolla rentals put you closest to where the largest concentrations of the wild horses are. Descended from Spanish mustangs who swam ashore from sinking ships hundreds of years ago, these horses have hyper adapted and now roam free among the wilder areas.
Of course, if you just want to relax, you will find miles and miles of great beaches. There are also plenty of shopping and dining opportunities available. You could even go scuba diving on one of the many wrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
There is something to do in the Outer Banks for everyone. This is important when you are bringing your family along. You will surely find things to keep everyone busy while you are there.
