I grew up in the Outer Banks during the '60's..... it was a wonderful place to grow up!!... We had beach parties where the Parents would cook all sorts of seafood in huge pots or even barrels, crab, fish, fries and fritters... many pots of corn on the cob... and us kids running around creating chaos!! .... Good times to be a kid.... Thanks for this video!!

Hi Kathy! I am a descendent of the Millers from Buxton NC....on my mother's side. Did you know of any Millers as a youngster? My great grandmother was Ursula Miller ,(maiden name was Jennette) ...g grandfather was Harris Miller. They had five sons, 4 came north. 1 son stayed in Elizabeth City. I am the g grandson of Fred Miller.

[@1982MCI]

The 60’s & 70’s were a wonderful time to grow up almost anywhere as long as you weren’t in the cities! I live east of Greensboro NC and have best of both worlds! I’m less than two hours from the beaches and less than two hours from the beautiful quiet mountains!! But it’s just not the same tho as when we grew up and none of the kids today have any idea what it used to be like before everything got ruined everywhere!

[@mrmyself2700]

Omg that sounds so nice

[@johnr5252]

A lot of people don’t realize how the German U Boats ravaged the east coast and Gulf coast during WWII. A great read is the book Torpedo Junction. I was amazed how many ships were sunk. The Navy was focused on the Pacific and as a result did not initially address the situation adequately in the Atlantic. In fact, they didn’t direct the public to turn off coastal lights at night. The silhouettes of the freighters made them easy pickings for the U Boats. Amazing read if you are interested.

Hello from sobx! My heritage is deeply rooted in Dimond city settlers who came to bogue banks, salter path to be specific. My heritage is shrimp boats, beach crew mulleting ,ferry boat captains, scallop houses and surfers. I'm so proud of the place and the people I come from. ❤ love the video and when people talk about the OBX 💙💙💙

[@terrychancellor4593]

OBX is my favorite place in the world! I have been going there since mid 1970s when things were still rather "rough". No fancy houses of the rich, it was mostly fishing cottages, a few hotels, and some amazingly delicious seafood!!

[@rosalialugo5286]

5 day vacation at the OBX was tottaly worth it. I love NC beaches !

[@Khamis1203]

Just got back from OBX, man I love that place. One year we found out that if you swam really far out we could stand on this big area of sand where the water only came up to your shins, like they are talking about in this video. We would play catch out on it people looked so confused on the shoreline when they saw people standing out in the water haha.

[@tinaholbrook9719]

That's called a sand bar. They are all over the oceans. We used to do the same thing in Florida beaches in the Gulf.

[@GardengalAAA]

We did that in little Gasparilla Florida. It was fun until unknown ocean creatures we couldn’t see in the water started brushing up against our legs as they swam by. I couldn’t get back to shore fast enough lol.

[@c8linlovesyew]

I have been visiting the Outer banks for 30 years now. My first vacation as a baby was to the Outer Banks. Its like a second home to my family. There's just something about it that no other beach I have visited can compare.

[@tinaholbrook9719]

We just got home yesterday from our vacation there. Second time I've been there. It is absolutely beautiful!

[@aslmad1]

I’m 60 and was taken there as a baby and growing up. Grandma owned a very early beach cabin, still there. It is really changed, build up as more people discover how special it is there. Children who grew up and bring their children then grandchildren. Sometimes I remember how it used to be more sparsely populated and think 🤔 should we have kept it our special secret 🙅🏼‍♀️somehow? Yet I think of how all these people are loving it as much as I do. Creates a joyous atmosphere. Everyone smiling.

[@ecohen2010]

Interesting video. I lived in the OBX for 6 years and was constantly amazed by how much the sand can move in one storm. Most dramatic area I have ever seen.

[@richiedavis5720]

I've lived on the OBX for over 15 years and love surfing, it's crazy how fast the sandbars change. My father's lived here since the early 70's and has seen so much change throughout the towns of the OBX. Time Flys.

[@jameschilders7423]

Why did you leave?!

[@cailinsanders8812]

Want to say thank you for clearing up the actual OBX vs the show Netflix made...I've lived in kill devil hills on the obx for about 14 years now, I'm turning 25 here soon and growing up here is amazing. It has very dull winters tho because its such a seasonal place which means most of us have to make all of our money during the summer, (alot of ppls income is through tips, because we are mainly a service community) that way we save money in the summer and can survive thoughout the winter. Meaning summers can be long and not so fun once you become a working teen/ adult..If you have a stable income year around and can travel this would b an amazing place to own a home but if you're growing up down here keep in mind there is limited opportunities for education unless you move instate and that you'll more than likely work ALOT during the summer and winters will b long and boring if you dont travel or have some type of productive outlet. It's a love-hate relationship with this place. Couldn't picture growing up anywhere else though, the landscape itself is enough to keep you here. Let alone all the good food and weather.

[@caffienevaccine]

Don’t forget the drug problems in FFHS and MHS. Grew up seeing people do lines on the tampon boxes because when the weather is bad kids get bored.

[@NotOnDrugs]

I've lived in Rodanthe all of my life. Luckily for me, when I was 13 I went offshore shrimping for the entire summer. I done that every summer until I graduated. I then went up north to cape may NJ and got a job scalloping. I worked on deck 5 years and have been running a full time boat for the company the last 6 years now.

[@warrenosborne6044]

When I was a bit younger, well a lot younger, my parents took me to the OBX often. I remember visiting my Uncle and hearing of seeing ships burning out in the Atlantic and bodies washing ashore.

Good video Thanks for shedding some light on OBX I’ve lived in NC for 4 years now and really enjoy learning and understanding stuff like this it make me appreciate it more To me it’s just a beach and tourist filled destination but during the off season when everything slows down it’s an amazing place thanks for sharing

[@ep61611]

Too bad no mention was made about the book "Graveyard of the Atlantic" where the title of this video comes from. It was written by a local historian named David Stick. I've not been to the OBX in quite a while, but I'm sure his books are still widely available - I have a signed first edition. I also knew him. I went to school with his kids and he was a Scoutmaster for the local Cub Scouts in the early 1960s along with my step-dad.

I grew up lower-middle-class in the 80s, and my fondest memories were from our summer trips to OBX. Dad got an old mildewy pop up camper & all the camping contents for dirt cheap. He fixed it up, hooked it up to the station wagon, and off we went to stay at the Cape Hatteras National seashore campgrounds for $6/night, where you could walk from your campsite down to the beach. Can't believe I survived the waves & undertow, TBH, since my parents did not supervise us at all once we were like 7 yrs old. Nothing like it, those lighthouses, the ferry out to Okcracoke, how loooooong it took to get there. The sound and smell of the surf, the cold water outdoor showers, the hibachi hamburgers, mosquitoes and the stars.

I grew up just over the sound bridge in Currituck. Now live about an hour away. Driving the beach since the early 1970's. About 30 years ago in Corolla, we ran across a huge bed of oyster shells right on the beach. They are not from the ocean they are from the sound. About 500+ yards west of where we were on the beach. Down the beach a ways was also a lot of dead tree stumps on the beach. Not just washed up. Still standing up, planted where they once grew. This was once a wooded area. Along with the oyster shells that were beds in the sound. From the wave action, the beaches have moved / encroached westward. Rolling over onto what was once a wooded area and the edge of the sound. Exposing all this to us.

Watched and subscribed during the last SpaceX splashdown. This video was a real treat. I first saw and fell in love with the ocean at the Outer Banks in the early 70's when Duck north of Kitty Hawk was nothing but sand and Hwy 12 was the only place to find much civilization. Don't remember much of anything along US 158. Probably was 10-15 years before I finally decided that moving and living there would be nothing but a dream. I still love to visit but long for what the area was 45-50 years ago.

Sailing up the west coast in the gulf stream having left key west, we planned to stop near in Cape Hatteras. After leaving the gulf stream, a large wave crashed over our stern, filling the cockpit with water turning it into a bath tub. Fifteen minutes later, it happened again. So we jibbed over and headed back into deep water and headed across the Atlantic instead of stopping for fresh supplies.

Its dangerous because you can get stuck in one without even knowing it. Luckily I was a strong swimmer but it was tiring!

I live in N.C. I have never been to the outer Banks. We have went to Carolina Beach, Ocean Isle, Holden, or Oak Island. I used to go to Myrtle when I was younger. This is on my bucket list. It is still a 6 hour drive from my house in the western part of the state. I live 2 hours from the mountains and 4 from the beach. I would love to go soon.

When I first moved to Asheville I didn't understand why so many folks from the mountains went to the SC beaches instead of the OBX. Then I went and discovered it was a 8-9 hr trip (depending on your final OBX destination) vs a 5.5 hr trip. I still love Ocracoke, but it's much more of a time commitment. Special place.

@@sarahdee374 That is exactly why. I still would love to go but it takes 6 hours from my house. I can be at any others beaches in 4 hours.
