How would you like to go cruising through the uneven sand with the sea breeze hitting your face as you stare out into miles of open ocean? Thanks to Outer Banks beach driving, you can rent ATVs or SUVs to take on the beach, or you can join a vehicular tour that will take you for a ride along the coast. If you elect to try a tour as part of your beach driving, you can take a Jeep tour or climb into a safari-style truck then embark on a search for the wild horses. Outer Banks beach driving offers a new way to explore and view the area. You need a permit to drive on the beach, which is only allowed from October 1 through April 30, so make sure you take necessary measures before carousing through the sand. Check out the listings below to learn where you can find Outer Banks rentals, Outer Banks tours and places to drive.
