The pace of life along the Northern Outer Banks has begun to slow. Children in Eastern North Carolina are entering the third week of school now, and our neighbors to the north are also back at it this week. Fall remains our favorite time of year to be on the Outer Banks. Traffic problems are virtually non existent […]
Our summer season is in full swing! The beaches are packed, and local business owners are happy.
