I've lived in NC all my life except during my military career and had never gone to the OBX.
About 5 years ago my wife and I went to Williamston VA for our anniversary and on the way back home we went through the OBX. Let me say, the Outer Banks was the best part of that trip. I throughly enjoyed the Wright Bros Memorial although it was early when we got there (before they opened) and had a ball. Took a couple of farrys for the first time, visited some lighthouses and it was great.
We have been going to the outer banks for about 16 years. If you are just passing through I would avoid doing it on the weekends. You have all the tourists either coming in or going out for the week and the traffic is terrible. If you like seafood Jimmy's seafood buffet in kitty hawk is a must stop for us every year.
Good advice, avoid traveling in that area on the weekends (FRIDAY-SUNDAY). I have been going down there for as long as I can remember. My dad retired and moved down there about 12 years ago so we go even more often. This year I am going on the bike for bike week.
