What is “The Outer Banks Promise”?
The Outer Banks Promise is a destination pledge to protect and preserve the vitality of the Outer Banks community for generations to come, with seven core messages rooted in kindness, responsibility, respect, and safety:
- Discover this land of history and inspiration with a spirit of kindness and appreciation.
- Turn “what ifs” into “let’s be prepared.”
- Pack it in, pack it out. Leave no trace.
- Wander with wonder, sticking to roads and paths.
- Love the beach, respect the ocean.
- Be a wildlife star, observing animals safely from afar.
- Support local. Small acts have big impacts.
Make The Outer Banks Promise.
In January 2025, Carolina Designs Realty made a companywide commitment to The Outer Banks Promise. We’d love for you to join us and countless other Outer Banks visitors, residents, and businesses!
