Outer BanksBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Going to great restaurants. Including Ocean Boulevard, Blue Point, and Mako Mikes. Going mini-golfing at Professor Hackers. Hanging out at the beach. Going to the wright brothers memorial. The outer banks has uncrowded beaches and has something for everyone.

Quick Tips:

If you are traveling with kids I would definitely go and play mini-golf. Professor Hackers is the best one around in the Outer Banks. I would also go See the Wright Brothers Memorial. Go down Jockeys Ridge, a huge sand hill that you can run down.

Best Way To Get Around:

To get around you should bring a car because that is the only way to get around. You could also walk or ride a bike. Bike rentals are available at many places.

Lost Treasure GolfBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

A great mini golf course with two 18 hole courses. Filled with displays off expedition and a wild west theme. Caves and ancient ruins, and waterfalls. When you go if you get a hole in one on the mystery hole you win a free round of golf. At the beginning, to get to the top to hole number one, you ride a train to the top.
