Just You & Your Soul Mate The Outer Banks for Two Miles of unspoiled coastline of The Outer Banks bring out the true beauty of the Atlantic. It’s romantic beyond belief, and it’s part of what makes The OBX the perfect couples destination. If food is the fastest way to your heart, be sure to attend the Taste of the Beach Weekend, where the many fine restaurants on the Outer Banks sample their dishes in one fun-filled, food-centric weekend. Here are some other ways to get closer with your soul mate on vacation: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Almost 150 years old, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse towers 210 feet over the Atlantic coastline. It's open for climbing the third Friday in April through Columbus Day in October and provides unparalleled views of the beach and the surrounding lands. Learn More Elizabethan Gardens Inspired by the fanciful gardens created for Queen Elizabeth I during her reign, the Elizabethan Gardens near Manteo feature beautiful flowers, statues and hedgerows. It’s a one-of-a-kind location and is perfect for weddings, engagement photos or just a romantic walk around the park. Don’t miss Daffodil Fest in April, when daffodils will likely be in peak bloom. Learn More The Lost Colony of Roanoke Take your favorite history buff back through time before the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. America's first European settlers arrived on Roanoke in 1587, but when English ships returned three years later, the colonists had vanished. Their story is reenacted every summer during performances of The Lost Colony, the nation's longest symphonic drama.
