We visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina briefly in October. As time allowed, we explored from Corolla to Ocracoke. We were there in the off-season, so there were many establishments that were closed until spring. There are many activities in the area, most of which we didn't have time to investigate. I think my favorite activity was walking the beach looking for seashells. I'm such a cliché.
