Tranquility awaits on this 200 mile string of barrier islands which, at Rodanthe North Carolina, sits 30 miles from the coast of the United States and is just over two football fields wide. Access the island by North Carolina Highway 12. Rodanthe boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound to the west. This humid subtropical climate is at its peak June-Sept relieved by a cooling afternoon sea breeze present most days.
Enjoy fine dining, golfing and water sports like swimming, fishing, kayaking, sailboarding, snorkeling, kiteboarding and wreck diving.
The islands are home to herds of feral horses, called "banker ponies", which are descended from Spanish mustangs washed ashore from shipwrecks centuries ago. Horses are found on Ocracoke Island, Shackleford Banks, Currituck Banks and in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Sanctuary.
Many restaurants, shops and markets are family owned and seasonal, closing Oct 31st when one must take the short drive south to Avon or north to Nags Head for fine dining. I recommend every guest try my favorite hot takeout from Waves Deli a 3 minute drive away.
