Every week I’ll be helping you steer clear of the worst things to do in your favorite destinations, thanks to the incredible insight gleaned from travelers before you. You can trust the information here, it’s from the internet.
*Some places are mentioned more than once because of how awful they are.

Welcome to the Top Ten Worst Things to Do in The Outer Banks
# 10. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
I don’t even have anything witty to say, I just love this so much. 2 stars.
# 9. Jennette’s Pier
OBX – where piers that look like piers are a disappointment. 2 stars.
# 8. Wright Brothers National Memorial
Not at all impressed with the birthplace of flight. 2 stars.
# 7. Currituck Beach
Roads – where cars drive. 1 star.
(Personally I think this is one of the coolest things to do in the Outer Banks!)
# 6. Duck Boardwalk
Absolutely spot-on analysis about the sun… 2 stars.
# 5. Jockey’s Ridge State Park
Who would’ve thought that a park devoted entirely to sand dunes would be entirely sand dunes? Not these folks. 1 star.
# 4. Kill Devil Grill
…and this absolutely spot-on North Carolina wing expert. 2 stars.
# 3. Ocracoke Lighthouse
Lighthouse or giant penis? 1 star.
(Visitors to Hawai’i don’t love their lighthouses, either)
# 2. Wright Brothers National Memorial
If there’s one thing 100-year-old monuments do, it’s change weekly. 2 stars.
And the WORST thing to do in The Outer Banks is…. North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island
Knowing the aquarium was closed but going anyway. Priceless. 1 star.
The internet is a wild place.
