Why Rodanthe & the Outer Banks?
The Outer Banks (or “OBX” as locals call it) is a chain of barrier islands famous for its wild beaches, lighthouses, shipwreck history and world-class water sports. Rodanthe sits right on Hatteras Island — think warm ocean swims, sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over Pamlico Sound on the very same day.
In your free time you can learn to kitesurf or paddleboard, cycle along the National Seashore, climb the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, go fishing off the pier, or take a road trip to Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills (birthplace of aviation!) and the wild horses of Corolla. Weekend adventures to Norfolk, Virginia Beach or Washington, D.C. are all within reach.
