Motels and hotels are clustered up and down the Outer Banks area, and rental properties are available in all the towns that dot the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Visitors to New Bern, the Central ("Crystal") Coast and to Wilmington and Cape Fear Coast can choose from chain properties, condos, and resorts overlooking rivers or the ocean. There are also in-town guest houses.
When planning your trip, ask about special packages and possible off-season rates.
