Outer Banks Visionaries: Building North Carolina's Oceanfront

Dreamers, Risk Takers, Innovators... The chain of barrier islands that skirt the coast of North Carolina from the Virginia border to Cape Lookout were once remote. Today the Outer Banks is one of America's most popular vacation destinations, welcoming millions of visitors each year. Like Walt Disney World or Las Vegas, the initial ideas around what is today a glittering vacation capital were, at one point, nothing more than a shared vision of what was possible. A series of dreamers fired the engines of the popular attraction to this scattering of sandy islands that resonates across much of the Eastern United States today. Author and Outer Banks native Clark Twiddy chronicles the region's journey from isolation to popularity through the stories of these innovators and risk-takers.
