Description
The Outer Banks is famous for its family friendly beaches, uncluttered with steady Atlantic surf lapping at the miles and miles of welcoming sand. Whether it is the patient consistency of the surf fisherman or the manic rush of the skim boarder, the laconic drifting of the tanning sun worshipper or the long walks that serve to shield the real intent of the people watchers, the ocean provides endless possibilities for entertainment.

But the Outer Banks is a string of barrier islands, and as such it has another side, one that also holds riches of its own. Welcome to the Sound Side!
The largest lagoon on the east coast of the U.S. is the Pamlico Sound, which starts at Oregon Inlet to the north and ends on the southern end with Drum Inlet stretching 80 miles long and 30 miles wide at its widest. The brackish waters are fed by the Neuse and the Pamlico rivers mixing with the salty ocean brine, creating a playground of water sports of deserved international fame.
