When I bought this book I was not sure if it would really be helpfully for us and our first trip to the Outer Banks. It was great! We used it everyday. Before we went somewhere we looked at it as reference. It helped us eat everyday in the Outer Banks plus do a little shopping. I am glad I bought it now, it helped us have one of the best vacations we ever had. I can't wait for the next edition because I think we are going back again and again to the Outer Banks and a updated version will help us prepare for any changes since our last visit.

Went to the Outer Banks recently, and bought this book and took it with us. The book turned out to be indispensable for our three-family vacation...from fishing to creating stain-glass mosaics, this guide has a description of it all!

Highly recommended!

This book is fantastic! It gives a very detailed description about everything you'd need for a wonderful trip to the Outer Banks.

I especially like the way it's laid out, with each section going "north to south". For example, the restaurants section starts at the north end of the islands and works its way down to the very south. Same with accommodations, etc.

It also definitely gives you a "feel" for the place - telling the type of vibe each community has and what the general demographics are.

Highly recommended!

The Insiders' Guide to North Carolina's Outer Banks was the best book I found for our trip there this summer. Every source we used from the book was accurate and helpful.

This guide is full of information and was extremely beneficial on my first trip to the Outer Banks. The chapters and index are well organized and easy to navigate. Have also used the Charleston book from the same series.

I had been to the outer banks once about 10 years ago and decided to go again last year. I bought the insiders guide and read through it before I went down there, that is a must, it gives excellent info on places and steared me from many touristy places, read the reviews in it short reviews of a place typically meant touristy, longer thoughtful reviews meant a place worth going to. It was typically right on with prices. i honestly wouldn't go there without it and am bringing it again in 4 weeks when i am going back. Love the outerbanks and this perfect companion to it. Remember read through it before you go though.

I was excited about going to the Outer Banks and ordered this book ahead of time. I found this book to be heavy on commercial listings and light on history and natural history of the area. We gathered a lot of tourist information once there, so this book wasn't necessary and money I regretted spending.
