About Outer Banks
The Outer Banks are barrier islands off the coast of the U. S. state of North Carolina, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland. Their open-sea beaches, state parks and shipwreck diving sites make them a popular holiday destination. Roanoke Island was the site of England's first settlement in the New World, an endeavor sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh.
