Waves, NC

Sitting along Hatteras Island in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Waves is a small beach community of fewer than two hundred full-time residents. Located between Rodanthe and Salvo, the village is famous for world-class kiteboarding on the shallow Pamlico Sound and easy access to uncrowded Atlantic beaches. Life here moves at an easy coastal pace, offering a tight-knit community feel with deep ties to the island's maritime history.
