Outer Banks: North Carolina's unique coastal experience

A compilation of Outer Banks experiences
JOCKEY'S RIDGE STATE PARK
It’s not your typical sandbox. The sand here isn’t even in a box. It’s piled more than 100 feet high and stretched across 420 acres. And it brings over one million visitors to Jockey’s Ridge State Park every year.
Located on Bodie Island in the Outer Banks, Jockey’s Ridge is home to the tallest sand dune system on the east coast. The park borders the Roanoke Sound and is less than a mile away from the Atlantic Ocean. And while sandboxes are reserved for kids, Jockey’s Ridge entertains kids and adults alike.
