East Coast spring trip to Outer Banks and Roanoke Island
The piece recalls a peaceful late March drive along U S 64 to Nags Head and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It highlights Jockey's Ridge dunes, Wright brothers flights near Kitty Hawk, Fort Raleigh, the Elizabethan Garden, Bodie Island Lighthouse, and Ocracoke including its historic sites, British Cemetery, and Coast Guard. It notes ferry options to Portsmouth and Swan Quarter, plus cheaper spring rates and uncrowded travel.
