The Outer Banks Area

Whether your preference is long boarding or short boarding, the ocean is your playground if you're a surfer. The surf conditions at the local beaches offer the sort of variety that can encourage a novice or satisfy a pro.

The unspoiled beaches on Hatteras Island have been rated as one of ten best on the east coast by US News. Relaxing at the beach is easy, whether you walk out using one of our many public access walkways, drive and park your
car at the Kinnakeet Shores Ocean Beach facility or take your four wheel drive vehicle onto the beach to find the perfect spot.

The natural beauty of the area will charge your batteries and provide many photo opportunities. At night, the lack of light pollution will inspire a midnight stroll on the beach as you take in the breathtaking star filled skies.

   
 When morning comes, greet the day along with the sunrise.
 Only one per day and no two are alike! 

If you sleep in and miss a sunrise, no worries! Only on the Outer Banks can you view a sunrise and a sunset all with traveling less than a mile. Even less effort is needed if you decide to view a sunrise or sunset from the Decks or Loft Of DESTINY.

Do you enjoy fishing? DESTINY is walking distance to the Avon Pier and a short drive to the docks of some of the best Charter Boats on the East Coast. Once on board, you're just minutes away from the Gulf Stream and some great fishing stories! Maybe you'd prefer to four wheel on the beach and find some great places, like Cape Point, to cast in the surf. Of course you can just relax at home where the bass fishing is always
excellent on the lake at DESTINY

How about windsurfing? The "Canadian Hole", so named because of it's popularity with our neighbors to the north, is one of the best windsurfing and kiteboarding locations on the East Coast, and only a stone's throw from the doorstep of DESTINY.

Do you like History? The Outer banks is steeped in history. From the Civil War, to Pirates and ship wrecks. From the First Flight of Aviation to unbelievable tales of bravery from early life saving stations and the men who manned them.

Four Wheeling to Cape Point to fish in the surf is a popular activity. Maybe if you are lucky you'll come across an uncovered shipwreck as we did here. Metal detectors are great fun and  permitted in the public beach areas.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the East Coast. Located just a short drive from DESTINY, a visit to the recently relocated and renovated lighthouse and museum will add an unforgettable chapter in your visit to DESTINY and the Outer Banks.  

The entrance to the free Ferry ride to Ocracoke Island is just a few minutes drive from DESTINY. Take a bag of popcorn for feeding the seagulls during the ride and watch the smiles on your children's faces from an experience that will last a lifetime. (Please use unsalted, unbuttered popcorn. It's better for the birds.)

 
But... the number one reason you'll enjoy your stay at DESTINY is the unspoiled beaches!  And here's another "secret" about the Outer Banks. The locals are still beachcombing in shorts in October, making a fall visit a great option as well as summertime. It's time to meet your vacation DESTINY!

To the beautiful Spanish Mustang Ponies of the Outer Banks you will need a 4X4 and have lots of spare cash to give the tow truck guy when you get stuck! Guided horse tours of the northern beaches are available via Bob's Wild Horse Tours
