Outer Banks National Scenic Byway — A Coastal Journey Through North Carolina

About

The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway passes through one of the nation’s great wild and scenic coastal landscapes, connecting the unique maritime culture of 21 coastal villages.

The U. S. Department of Transportation found the traditional maritime culture along the Byway worthy of the National Byway designation in October, 2009. The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway is one of only 150 nationally designated byways.

Following the North Carolina coastline as it extends eastward into the Atlantic Ocean, the route covers 138 driving miles and 25 ferry-riding miles. Its path crosses barrier islands, Pamlico Sound and two inlets, while continuing through coastal villages.
