Don’t just tour the Outer Banks, Experience the Outer Banks
The Outer Banks are barrier islands off North Carolina’s coast, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland. Known for open-sea beaches, state parks, and shipwreck diving sites, they are a popular holiday destination. Roanoke Island was England’s first New World settlement, sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh.
Lighthouses have guided the coast for over two centuries, serving as beacons of hope for mariners navigating perilous waters. The Outer Banks offer 100+ miles of shoreline, charming villages, and a rich historical connection, making it a top getaway spot.
Every Beatrice Bradley trip is crafted to maximize the experiences had during the trip.
The itineraries are specially made to allow time for engaging in conversation and having belly laughs with a new friend. We hope that the activities and experiences may allow you to come out of your comfort zone and to try new or unique things.
These trips are made to replicate a ‘friends get-away trip’.
