North Carolina Has One Of the Nation’s Most Beautiful Islands
Americans often find themselves drawn to the allure of beautiful islands. These slices of paradise, graced with beaches, vibrant landscapes, and blue waters, extend an irresistible invitation to those seeking a blissful escape. Each island has a unique charm and appeal, promising many experiences as diverse as the travelers they attract.
Recently, a travel website called Touropia ranked the most beautiful islands in the United States, providing a glimpse into the nation’s diverse collection of landscapes and coastal treasures. From the sun-kissed beaches of Hawaii’s Maui to the untamed shores of Maine’s Mount Desert Island, the U.S. holds what some may say are the most beautiful islands.
Touropia features a variety of stunning attractions from around the globe, sorted into different “best of” lists. In a recent compilation, they have curated a selection of the 23 most beautiful islands in the U.S. This selection was made by gathering data from consumer reviews and opinions to ensure a well-rounded ranking of islands.
North Carolina and its beautiful island
The list includes a North Carolina island, with Outer Banks earning a place in the top ten. The travel website highlighted Outer Banks’ history, which dates back to the 1500s. “There’s no shortage of historic and romantic lighthouses, including Bodie Island Lighthouse from 1871,” they wrote.
Interestingly, the Netflix series “Outer Banks” draws inspiration from the real barrier islands along the East Coast. Although not filmed on the commonly known OBX island, the show is rooted in adventure novels and intertwined with the history and legends of the coastal areas in North Carolina.
The most beautiful island in the nation
Leading their rankings is Kauai, one of Hawaii’s most ancient and fourth-largest islands. It is often referred to as the “Garden Island.” The list also includes other secluded spots, such as the San Juan Islands in Washington, which snagged the 9th position. Kodiak Island in Alaska found its place at the 16th spot. While Galveston Island in Texas was recognized at number 22. Rounding out the list at number 23 is Assateague Island, between Virginia and Maryland.
