Beach Information & Safety Tips

Check out the following web sites for information on Outer Banks history, water safety, marine life, and more: www.lbsoceanrescue.com (for local information) and www.usla.org (for the entire U.S.).

There are many treasures to be found on the beaches throughout the year. One of the most interesting is fulgurite. It s quite common for lightning to strike the sandy areas of the Outer Banks, and when it does, the heat can fuse the sand together to form a glassy stone called fulgurite. These quirky formations come in all shapes and sizes and make for an interesting conversation piece to bring home and display.
