I think the people who write most of the reviews must be realtors trying to rent out their homes. The Outerbanks is overcrowded with little for families to do other than go to the beach. If you don't have 4-wheel drive you are missing out on the only exciting thing to do there. Many of the restaurants are nothing more than gift shops, you either have to enter the restaurant though the gift area or you have to exit one to pay your check. If you like looking at large vacation homes covering the dunes than you will love the outerbanks.
Pros: Pea Island, Light houses, National Park Service
Cons: Not enough to do, Too many homes, To many people
