Getting Here
The Outer Banks is a destination for visitors from everywhere East of the Mississippi River, as far north as Michigan and Maine, and as far South as Florida, making it the ideal beach vacation destination for couples and families of all sizes and ages.
By Car
The Outer Banks is so popular because it is a convenient drive of 15 hour or less from most points mentioned above. Several major highways feed visitors to the area. Opportunities to veer off the beaten path and travel smaller picturesque paths are also an option.
By Foot
Visitors will find that a vehicle is almost a necessity once they arrive. The Outer Banks constitutes over 120 miles of beaches and attractions from Corolla to Ocracoke and there is no official public transportation that runs its entire length.
In recent years the towns have added sidewalks and bike paths to accommodate pedestrians and bikers. Taxi service is available on the northern beaches. Yet the distances between many places is still so great as to warrant a car, so be prepared to rent a car at the airport if you fly in.
Once you get to Duck, you will be able to park your car and enjoy miles of bike paths and sidewalks in a pedestrian-friendly town unlike any other on the Outer Banks.
Car Rental
Enterprise is the only national car rental service on the Outer Banks, with locations in Kill Devil Hills and in Elizabeth City (about 70 miles away on the main land).
