The Outer Banks Welcomes Progress

In a recent entry to the Kennebec Journal, a columnist compared the differences between the Outer Banks of North Carolina and other vacation destinations on the east coast, particularly Maine. 

In article, the author points out the fact that a lot of towns in New England seem to be stuck in the past while the Outer Banks surges forward in growth.  He highlights the fact that many years ago, there was nowhere for people to shop for everyday household items, now there is K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and multiple Harris Teeter and Food Lions. 

The main difference that the author noticed is the fact that people embrace growth on the Outer Banks with open arms, while towns in New England tend to be a bit more close-minded or pessimistic about growth.

OBX has been named as one of the most family friendly beaches in the US.  Locals are always looking to meet someone new on the Outer Banks and there has never been a better time to visit us than this year!  We look forward to welcoming you with open arms.
