Winter in The Outer Banks

Winter in the Outer Banks is not your typical beach getaway. The Nor’ Easters can be brutal, whipping up relentless winds and pelting cold rain that soaks right through you. The ocean, which seems calm and inviting in the summer, turns into a wild untamed beast. Between the grey skies and the sand dunes reshaped by howling gusts, it’s a different kind of beauty, raw and untamed.
