State Park, Town Center and other spots more distant near the beach. We will enjoy a special dinner together. (B,D) Day 4: Off to see the Wild Horses of the Outer Banks and much more. This morning we will drive south out of Virginia Beach and even out of Virginia to the incredible Outer Banks of North Carolina just over an hour away. This is America’s First Beach. The site of our country’s first National Seashore and the place where the English first tried to settle in the New World. In Manteo, we will stroll through the majestic Elizabethan Gardens, which were designed in 1960 as a living memorial to Queen Elizabeth, Sir Walter Raleigh and the members of the Lost Colony. A highlight of the gardens is an outstanding collection of an- tique statuary. Then it is on to Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. Located on Roanoke Is- land. We will visit the newly renovated visitor center; the historic site features the restoration of an earthen fort believed to have been built by Ralph Lane’s colonists in 1585. We are in for a huge treat this afternoon when we travel to the northern part of the Outer Banks to the beachside town of Corolla. Here we will search for the Wild Horses of the Outer Banks. Here amongst the sand dunes the Wild Horses roamwith complete protection fromman and all predators. We will take open air safari style trucks with 15 guests each to see them in their natural habitat. This evening we will enjoy a final dinner back in Virginia Beach. (B,D) Day 5: Today, depending on our flight schedules we can relax at the beach before departing for the airport. What a week at the beach! Who would have thought there was so much so close to the Atlantic Ocean in one of America’s great playgrounds.
