Tranquility awaits on this 200 mile string of barrier islands which, at Rodanthe North Carolina, sits 30 miles from the coast of the United States and is just over two football fields wide. With a population of under 300 people this island can be reached by North Carolina Highway 12. Rodanthe boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound to the west. This humid subtropical climate is at its peak in the summer months relieved by a cooling afternoon sea breeze present most days.
Tourists enjoy dining, golfing and many water sports include swimming, fishing, kayaking, sailboarding, kiteboarding and wreck diving at the top of many other options.
The islands are home to herds of feral horses, sometimes called "banker ponies", which according to local legend are descended from Spanish mustangs washed ashore centuries ago in shipwrecks. Populations are found on Ocracoke Island, Shackleford Banks, Currituck Banks and in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Sanctuary.
Many restaurants, shops and markets are family owned and seasonal, closing in the winter months when one must take the short drive south to Avon or north to Nags Head for restaurants.
