The Outer Banks stretch 200 miles along North Carolina's coast, where century-old fishing villages give way to Cape Hatteras's wild dune fields. Waterfront rentals here range from restored surfside cottages in Kitty Hawk to multi-million-dollar oceanfront compounds in Corolla. Shoulder season pricing drops 40% and the light is better.
