What is a vacation without a souvenir to remember it by? And you won’t have to look too far or too hard when trying to find one or seven to take home with you. Outer Banks souvenirs can be found in beach shops, clothing stores, convenience stores, galleries, surf shops, museum stores, gift shops and novelty shops. You could get a figurine of the Elizabeth II, a replica of a 16th century merchant ship, or a classic OBX t-shirt to show everyone you meet what a world traveler you are. Maybe your idea of the perfect souvenir is a glass from a local brewery or an Outer Banks crafted surfboard – either way, you won’t leave the Outer Banks empty handed. And don’t forget to pick up a little something for your friends back at home! They’d be flattered that you thought of them while shopping and love a distinctively Outer Banks gift. Check out the listing below to see where you might find an Outer Banks souvenir that will always remind you of your vacation.
