I’ve been meaning to go North Carolina’s Outer banks for years new. I might even get around to it one of these days. In the mean time, here’s Mental Floss Magazine’s educational take on the area:

“If you’ve ever noticed the squiggle in the east coast of detailed US maps, you’ve seen the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina. Take highway 64. When you see the unforgettable billboard for Dirty Dick’s Crab House, slow down because you are about to hit the ocean at Nags Head. Then you have to turn left or right, but in either direction, you’ll find something interesting to learn about.”

“Turn south and you’ll enter Cape Hatteras National Seashore, with 75 miles of seashore on each side, limited development, and protected wildlife. Ocracoke Island is the southernmost part of the national seashore, and was recently named the United States’ best beach. There are no roads to Ocracoke, so you’ll have to get there by ferry or private plane. “
