The beauty of Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras is breathtaking. The shipwreck with its connection to piracy and revolution is self-navigating. The Wright Brothers’ pioneering flight took place on the sands of Carolina Dunes. The Bodie Island Lighthouse is housed at Whalebone Junction Info Centre. Historical treasures include the Lost Colony, Pea Island NWR, and Confederate folklore. Other attractions include the lighthouse, Blackbeard’s Ghost, maritime woodlands, and the wealth of Ocracoke. The Wright Brothers’ garage memorial stands as a testament to their achievements, regardless of any criticism. Enjoy sights of Currituck, marine life, and wild horses at Duck Town Boardwalk.
