Help Shape the Next Season of The Outer Edge
To many outsiders, the Outer Banks is a destination. But to us, it’s home. Our local spirit is so much more than a bumper sticker. It’s a way of life that’s worth preserving and sharing.
Through 11 episodes of The Outer Edge (links provided below), we’ve captured a range of stories that help to bridge the gap between visitors and our community—and remind us that there is always more to learn about our neighbors next door. Our goal is to ensure the Outer Banks remains a place people hold onto, even when they aren't physically here. By immersing folks in the untold stories of our community, we are inviting them to truly get to know us and play an active role in helping to protect the things that make the Outer Banks special.
We are now scouting for the next round of stories and need your help finding local characters who can help us tell them. We’re looking for people who truly embody the Outer Banks spirit—those who are a little quirky, yet fiercely resilient. For these folks, the Outer Banks isn’t just home; it’s their passion.
To help us cover new ground, we invite you to first take a look at the stories your neighbors have already helped us tell. Click on the links below to watch:
