Seaside Vacations

Away.com recently created a top ten list of places to live like a pirate, and the Outer Banks landed at # 2.   

Ocracoke Island receives attention from pirate lovers everywhere.  The quaint island located on the southern end of the OBX was the home of Blackbeard the Pirate, and much lore still surrounds the island.   

Ocracoke offers a variety of pirate related activities and history.  Two must-sees for any pirate enthusiast are the Blackbeard museum and Tech’s Hole, now a great fishing spot, but in 1718 it was the site of the Battle of Ocracoke that cost Blackbeard his life.
