The website, www.outerbankstrails.org, includes a calendar of regional events that focus on cultural and coastal heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Themes for these trails are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traditions, Trades &amp; Treasures: A Community Heritage Trail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Land, Sea &amp; Lighthouses: A Maritime History Trail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marsh, Sound and Maritime Forest Discoveries: An Outdoor Recreation Trail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From Dock to Table: A Local Seafood Trail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway covers more than 138 miles on the North Carolina coast.

Visitors can learn about the people and their stories at interpretive sites, museums, and in conversation with locals who live and work along the byway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The byway features two national seashores, two national wildlife preserves and a maritime forest within a coastal reserve. The area also boasts more than 365 species of songbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl that migrate through each year. Visitors can enjoy ferry excursions through the sounds and catch a glimpse of dolphins or coastal birds along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outerbanksscenicbyway.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">www.outerbanksscenicbyway.org<\/a> to learn more about the byway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/previous-issues\/2014-2\/summer-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Summer 2014<\/a> issue of Coastwatch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For contact information and reprint requests, visit <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/contact\/<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than a year, volunteers along the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway have been planning, researching and developing a series of themed trails.
