Just a few desolate flecks of sand strewn amidst a vast ocean of blue - the Outer Banks define the quintessential refuge for the American recluse. Its windswept shores sport the history of aviation, along with an occasional lighthouse, a charming oyster farm or a stretch of remote sand dunes. The perfect place to unwind, far from the madding crowd.
