By Sheridan Alexander/ United States/ North Carolina/ TripSavvy/ tripsavvy.com

"The string of islands known as the Outer Banks stretches approximately 130 miles. These fragile yet enduring islands are home to some of the most pristine beaches and one of the largest estuary systems in the world. The islands that make up the Outer Banks are:

• Bodie Island, which is pronounced like body, is the northernmost section of the Outer Banks was once an island, but today is actually a very long peninsula extending south from Virginia.
• Roanoke Island, which lies between Bodie Island and the mainland, is surrounded by the waters of the Albemarle, Roanoke, and Croatan Sounds.
• Hatteras Island, at approximately 50 miles in length, is one of the longest islands in the United States. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore extends the length of the island with Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge located in the northern 12 or so miles.
• Ocracoke Island is the southernmost island and is reachable only by boat or ferry.

This tour begins in the northern communities of Corolla and Duck....."
