Where should we stay in the Outer Banks?
Each area of the Outer Banks is unique - complete with its own history and fun activities for your family while staying at any of the Outer Banks vacation rentals available in the area. People often ask us what is the difference between the northern beaches of Corolla, Duck and Southern Shores and the more southern beaches of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, South Nags Head and even Manteo. We hope the information found in the following pages will help you decide which area you would like to find your vacation rental in the Outer Banks, and which areas you would like to visit while you are exploring the OBX region!
