🐠Visit Jennette's Pier: Experience fishing, educational programs, and stunning ocean vistas at this historic pier, rebuilt as a modern concrete structure extending 1,000 feet into the Atlantic. *There are also public bathrooms here.

🌳Discover the Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve: A 1,092-acre National Natural Landmark offering diverse hiking trails through maritime forests and wetlands.

🦈Stop by the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island: Explore marine life exhibits, including a replica of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor, and learn about sea turtle rehabilitation efforts. Be sure to book your tickets ahead of time as slots do fill up.

Nature never ceases to amaze —a baby seal resting on the beach right here in the Outer Banks! 😍 Video taken by the amazing Wes Snyder Photography.

If you ever see one:

❌ Do NOT touch or try to move them
📏 Keep at least 150 feet away
📞 Report sightings to the OBX Marine Mammal Stranding Network (252-455-9654)

These little travelers need their space to rest, and wildlife experts will monitor them to ensure they’re safe.

🌨️❄️ Snow in the Outer Banks? Yes, it’s real, and it’s magical! 🌊✨

Our beloved beaches have traded in their golden sands for a dusting of white snow today, creating a rare winter wonderland right here by the ocean. From snow-covered dunes to frosty piers, this unique sight reminds us how special and unpredictable nature can be. 🌬️

Have you ever seen snow on the OBX?
