Looking for a unique remote getaway? Travel to the Outer Banks where part of its charm is the remoteness of the area. Once you either take the ferry or drive over one of the bridges that connect the Outer Banks to the mainland, you feel far removed from the rest of the world. The Outer Banks is stranded farther away from its main coast than any other barrier island in the world and you can feel the distance from all the hustle and bustle as soon as you step food on the island.
