Visiting the Outer Banks with Kids

The Outer Banks might just be the ideal spot for low-key beach vacations for kids and extended family groups. This 200 mile spit of land stretching along the coast of North Carolina to southern Virginia has something for everyone, from low key activities along the white sand beaches to memorable adventures, like ATV-driven wild horse tours. There are also a number of historical sites and museums that bring history alive for kids and adults. Best of all, numerous beach rental companies make it easy and affordable to rent a house for the whole family right in the heart of the action.
