In January 2019, we held a Facebook Contest in which we asked participants to post their favorite Outer Banks photo that captivated their “OBX Moment” using the hashtag #OBXmoment. We received over 750 awesome entries and we absolutely loved seeing our guests’ favorite moments captured via photograph. We also learned a few things about our guests – they love family adventures! While we received pictures of sunsets, wildlife, sunrises, the ocean, dogs, boats, piers, landmarks and more, 49% of entries were photographs capturing families enjoying the ultimate Outer Banks Moment! We loved these photos so much that we thought we’d share a few of our top favorites with you!
