Outer Banks Named “South’s Best Is-
land” By Southern Living Magazine
The Outer Banks of North Carolina has been named the “South’s Best Island” by Southern Living in the magazine’s March 2017 is-sue themed “The South’s Best.” The narrow string of barrier is-lands off the coast of North Carolina earned the top spot and edged out other popular beach towns, including Hilton Head, Gal-veston, Tybee Island and the Florida Keys for the publication’s first annual “South’s Best” awards.
More than 22,000 Southern Living readers were surveyed for their opinions on destinations and attractions that define the Southern United States in 13 categories: small towns, cities, resorts, tail-gates, restaurants, museums, breweries, bars, BBQ joints, shops, hotels, inns and islands.
Stretching nearly 200 miles from Carova to Ocracoke Island, the Outer Banks are bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and a series of shallow sounds to the west, offering opportunities to enjoy exceptional fishing, incredible seafood and world-class wa-tersports ranging from kiteboarding to standup paddleboarding.
Best known for its pristine and undeveloped beaches, the Outer Banks is characterized by a relaxed vibe and family-friendly atmos-phere, making it a top choice among travelers from all around the world. Instead of towering hotels and busy boardwalks, here you’ll find vacation rental homes ranging from quaint cottages and cozy condos to luxury estates that feature resort-like amenities. With a rich history that dates back several centuries and an assortment of attractions that offer something for visitors of all ages, the Outer Banks is a vacation destination unlike anywhere else.
“The Outer Banks are truly a magical place, and many of our guests have been visiting this stretch of sand for generations,” says Kelly Allman, director of marketing at Seaside Vacations, a vacation rental home and property management company based in Kitty Hawk. “The area’s natural beauty, laidback and friendly vibe, and ability to maintain its quaint and unspoiled character are what our guests’ cite as the top reasons they return year after year. And while we’re extremely proud to officially hold the title of the ‘South’s Best Island,’ to those of us residents and frequent guests of these beautiful barrier islands, the accolades come as no surprise.”
