I Drove Through North Carolina's Outer Banks. This Is What I Saw. 

Dont forget Harkers Island, Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout

True. Outer Banks is a specific set of Islands north of Wilmington.

kristen lindsay Ok... Thank you because I was wondering why Wrightsville Beach and south of it with Carolina Beach and Kure Beach was included. I was surprised they skipped going a few more blocks to Ft Fisher; another surprise was when they were “leaving the outer banks” they were actually ENTERING onto Wrightsville Beach, which is an island. But I did love this video too. For a moment I was thinking, oh, I could start saying I live on the OB! 🎉 I’m not originally from here so I was almost fooled. 😂

Krisi Ford I have entered local singer songwriter Walter Finley into the Carolina country music Association showdown. The name of the song is while the sun still shines. (AKA The Fishing Song) Here is the link to join the group and cast your vote! Let’s do this! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xX1IqLq-lxg.html

You're right except you should have thrown in Portsmouth Island, too. Dare, Hyde and Currituck Counties are the only three counties on the Outer Banks. Nick Johnson should make a correction video.

Thinking about moving there !!! How is it to live there ?

@@jericamintzer9888 desolate and no real jobs to speak of.

It was my home for 5 years, and throughout the 80s and 90s the OBX (Nags Head, Kittyhawk, etc.) was a summer vacation spot for our family. I love NC... From the mountains to the shore!

@@jericamintzer9888 there are jobs, you just have to look hard and keep looking. Definitely a lot of small towns are harder to find jobs.

I too am proud to call NC home! Our beaches are beautiful. Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, & Fort Fisher are very special to me and my family. Wish we were there now.😃

I live on the Outer Banks too and this isn't it lol. I have heard of these places but they are not considered the Outer Banks. Barrier Islands yes.

Advice--please keep distance from loud mouthed NY, NJ CT teenagers +young men. 20+30 year olds Curse words+pot smokers+no masks++trash hotel rooms.. CANNOT WAIT FOR THESE GUYS TO GO HOME TO MOMMIE+DADDY

They are the Wilmington beaches lol. Yeah he was way off with his "outer banks"

Me, I actually live in North Carolina though lol

Me

Natasha Crews me too lol

Meeee

it's not even filmed here sadly it's filmed in Charleston, SC

Hey Dave glad you're a fan! Did you like living up there? Seems like it would get old after a while?

Nope

Walk south in Ft Fisher (south of Kure Beach) or padddle or boat over to Masonboro and it’s pretty darn nice. Some nice island north of Figure 8 but boat required. Obx pretty good vibe if you can get away from the tourist.

Me too. I've seen South Carolina but not North Carolina.

the RighTWaY with DJ Fraser I haven’t seen either, born and raised in Minnesota

It’s amazing visit Emerald Isle 😀😍

Sam The Vlogger Beast I use to live in currituck for like ever and you don’t wanna go there

I've been through North Carolina a few times. Not near the coast though. It's nice.

Me too! And Wilmington is booming right now!

I work in Wilmington, live a few minutes outside of it. It has grown so much in the 5 years I been in N.C.. There’s construction 🚧 everywhere, the growth is massive.

I love Emerald Isle we go twice a year I think it's the best coastal community in NC!

Taay_ Thegreat Beaufort, NC is the cutest town next to it!

E. Nathan Glass oh ok ya I went there I got a t shirt with a pirate dog with peg leg 🤣

Yes! It's so much more peaceful down near the SC border.

Will do!

@@NickJohnson That'd be amazing, thanks!

We are still here it's still freaking hot as hell!

Kinda ;)

Kenny B you are wrong. The Outer Banks really goes down to Cape Lookout.

Kenny B 😂😂

Born and Raised in Hatteras Village this video is nice but in no way encompasses the history or feeling of being on the OBX. Next time take a drive through the Real OBX

@@genemayo8737 EXACTLY!!! Thank you, those were my feelings exactly.

Coco Taveras same to you

Yay did you watch the whole thing? Probably got kinda boring after a while 😉

Thanks! 👍

Me too😂🙋

Alley Watson yea but he says this is the obx lol

I live in ILM too; hey, according to this video title... now we live in the OBX! 😂

We did ;)

This is it :)

Love the intercoastal it's better than the ocean i think

Nick Johnson I agree 100%.

@@NickJohnson it is intracoastal

It's so chill this time of the year but gets pretty crowded in the summer. But what doesn't get crowded in the summer?

@@NickJohnsonOutside anywhere here in Phx metro, AZ 😂

Okay!

Awesome. I live in the capital too. I love Raleigh

@@NickJohnson Heyyyyy neighbor lol.

Ok!

Sometimes ;)

Hey I haven't seen you comment in a while! You've missed out if you haven't watched the last year or so ;)

I know and so many people don't have 4x4s and think they're professionals!

Hey James! Kure is so chill!

This is not a island.

The real Outer banks start in Virginia NC Line and go South through Kitty Hawk.

Where’s the Ferry that goes to Southport.

Where’s the Fort ?

what happened?

The heat of the day overheated the hood cam so I had to improvise with a driver and an iPhone X haha. Definitely not your quality in terms of stability BUT I liked being able to move the camera at key points and get out of the car at certain parts.

Nick Johnson it wasn’t that bad. I could tell it was handheld (because of the fingers) but it wasn’t all that unstable. The iPhones do a pretty good job with stabilization.

I know I know

Have you had a drink in Beaufort at the Blackbeard bar? I loved it you could feel the energy in that place

I've stayed in Blackbeard's Lodge. when I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the northern beaches. It reminds me of the way things were when I was a child.

I'm so jealous of you right now !!!!!!! Lol I am praying n planning on retiring there soon.

I'm from nc too hey

@@crazychannel1478 i am too hey kaylin how are u buddy

@@100worldview5 whats mc

@@101sanfordI'm good thank you I'm from Shelby NC close to Gaffney SC

Exactly!

Jarrrad Everyone heading south since the 1940s to the NC/SC border has stopped at South of the Border! How could you not, with all the highway signs! It used to be much nicer and much busier back in the 1960-1990s. I live in NC and think it’s sad that SOTB has declined so much.

Have you been to Chile?

On Okracoke, we took our sterno camp stove to the dock, bought 2 lb fresh shrimp from the boat, boiled them right there and pigged out! *sigh!*

Love you!!

Faviola Andaya youll never have our beaches but well never have your beautiful mountains and perfect weather without humidity!

Depends on your perspective. The traditional "OBX" you speak of essentially branded themselves that way. In actuality all of them are the outer banks - or barrier islands- or whatever you want to call them.

@@NickJohnson In that case, most of East Coast is the "Outer Banks" of the USA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@NickJohnson no it does not depend on your perspective and it was not some kind of branding done by local marketers. The Outer Banks have consisted of the beaches from the Virginia line to Ocracoke Island only since before I was born. South of that point are the Core and Shackleford Banks, beyond that is the Crystal Coast, and further south are the remaining barrier islands of North Carolina. Don't argue with the people born and raised in the area with family that has lived in the area since before the Revolution unless you want to be labeled a touron (one of the very few things the Netflix show got right about us BTW). You see it's all the name, OUTER meaning away from the mainland. The islands and peninsula in question are those furthest away from the mainland. Now at one time you might have been able to argue that Portsmouth Island was part of the Outer Banks but since the creation of Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Cape Lookout National Seashore it's been customary to group Portsmouth with the other Core and Shackleford Banks comprising the Cape Lookout Seashore. Tell somebody born and raised on the Crystal Coast they are part of the Outer Banks and they are going to give you a very funny look. Tell somebody born and raised on the Outer Banks that Carolina Beach or the Crystal Coast is part of the Outer Banks and they are going to do the same.

Aww 😥 what's your favorite N.C. island?

It's just chill. Except in July. Do you visit often Chelsea?

Of course you love it there you have SEA in your name!! 🌊

humidity is only bad in july and august. it's coming charles!

Hope that's good?

Me too. Way down by Holden it's just so desolate and boring. Do you like quieter like Holden or more goin on like Carolina Beach?

@@NickJohnson Carolina beach is my favorite because there's things to do. On the other hand I also like Holden Beach because my Dad always took us there as kids. Have you ever been to Ocean Isle? It is a very classy and clean beach. A few things to do there. Very nice. I like Carolina because they have deep sea fishing trips for my husband. Also they have the carnival and midnight cruises.

I live in the western part of N.C. closer to the mountains. Foothills.

Chase Jordan never ❤️

Chase Jordan that was supposed to be a 😂 face.

It wasn't filmed in the obx

Txkyz the youtube video was filmed in the outerbanks

Seth im aware of that

Haha I know right?

That's my goal!!!

I always wanted to ride the animals

Nick Johnson lol good luck with that one

Awesome do they want to sell a house haha

Can you take your car on that ferry?

@@NickJohnson Yes, and its been 6 months or so, but for years it has only cost 5 bucks and saves me many miles of driving, affording a beautiful trip as well. Just put up your convertible top, as the tourists will feed the gulls, and...well u can figure out the results, lol. Go for it and ENJOY! there are several ferries up and down our coast, many named for state universities(the ferry boats) Most have stations with pamphlets, refreshments, etc. The one at Oak Island is no longer manned, and the keepsakes they once sold are no longer available there, but I think some of the longer ferry trip stations are still manned with gift shops. They run all day, 30 minute intervals or more, depending on the trip length, and I think the longest is well over an hour up in northern area. Before I sold my cabin cruiser, wife and I loved to go out 25 miles or more, where the water becomes clear blue(beyond the silt from Cape Fear river here), the flying fish are amazing, and the fishing great. So great on a hot day to dive in as deep as I could go, until my buoyancy would shoot me back to surface.

Mappy could have bought you a soda!

I'll be doing everything there at some point soon!

It is

Nick Johnson I actually used to live in Wilmington for 5-6 years so the beach and hurricanes are not surprising for me

Sure!

Yes both towns very built up and cluttered. Real Outer Banks are south of the bridge (Rodanthe-Buxton-Hatteras Village).

depends on where you live :)

That wasn't snows cut

@@NickJohnson Yes, I know
