5Outer Banks, North Carolina
The Outer Banks, a string of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, is a hidden gem for sunset lovers. With miles of pristine beaches and the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Pamlico Sound on the other, the Outer Banks offer stunning views of both sunrise and sunset. The calm waters of the sound provide a perfect mirror for the setting sun, creating breathtaking reflections. One of the best spots to watch the sunset is Jockey’s Ridge State Park, home to the tallest sand dunes on the East Coast. As the sun sets over the dunes, the sky is painted in shades of pink, orange, and purple, creating a serene and unforgettable scene.
