Five Ways to Connect to the Outer Banks From Home

Enjoy the OBX While Social Distancing

We are fortunate to have technology that allows us to connect with people and places from the comfort of our homes. During times that you are not on the Outer Banks, we’ve found a few ways to bring a little bit of the Outer Banks to you. Whether you’re trying to cure the post-vacation blues or your’re simply looking to take a coastal break, we hope that at least one of these ways to connect to the OBX will bring some joy to your day! 

 

1. Take a Look at Our Live Outer Banks Beach Cam

Many people believe that the ocean has a calming effect on your mind. Take a break from your day and get a live look at the Atlantic Ocean on Twiddy’s beach cam. Tune in early in the morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean. Drop by mid-day to see how big the waves are. Keep it on for an extended period of time and have the kids count how many birds fly by. Bonus points if they can identify the type of bird! Our Birding Guide to the Outer Banks can help.

It’s never too early to plan your next vacation on the Outer Banks. Browse vacation homes and pick out your favorites. Plan your favorite things to do, like a seafood boil, visiting a lighthouse, or doing yoga on the beach.

3. Get Your OBX Goodie Fix with an Outer Banks Box

The Outer Banks Box is a box of locally made goodies and a few surprises that is shipped directly to your home. Each OBX Box promises to serve up a quality mix of local eats, local art, unique momentos, and novelty items, all with an Outer Banks beach vibe. All items in the Outer Banks Box are curated right here on the Outer Banks. The OBX Box can be purchased as a single box or as an annual subscription, with four boxes per year.
