Four Outer Banks tourist attractions are among the 25-most visited sites in North Carolina in 2009 according to the Carolina Publishing Associations annual survey.

  • Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills was ranked 6th, with over 478-thousand visitors last year.
  • Three Manteo attractions were in the Top 25:
    • Fort Raleigh National Historic site ranked 12th,
    • the North Carolina Aquarium Roanoke Island was 14th,
    • and Roanoke Island Festival Park rounded out the poll at number-25.  

It was also pointed out in late January that Jockey’s Ridge was the most visited North Carolina state park in 2009! 

Clearly, the OBX offers much more to see and do than the gorgeous ocean and pristine beaches!

Beautiful vacation homes available year round!
