 Ocean by natural barrier 

 islands and is known for its 

 pristine beaches and historic 

 attractions.

 to life on the Outer Banks in the 

 1920s. Featured at the park is the 

 Whalehead Club, originally an 

 exclusive hunt club when built in 

 1925. The fully restored building 

 is a popular attraction, along 

 with a historically landmarked 

 boathouse and lootbridge.

 along the Chesapeake Bay to 

 nearby ports. Climb to the top 

 for spectacular water views and 

 unforgettable sunsets.

 as well as the migratory paths of 

 ducks and Canada geese.
