A Truly Unique Perspective

Since the sun sets in the west, there aren’t many places on the east coast where you can watch the sun set over a large body of water. The Outer Banks has a number of bays that lie to the west, referred to as “sounds”, and from many places you can watch a beautiful sunset over perfectly calm water. This results in some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the US.

This unique feature of The Banks is even more stunning from the air, so we captured it from the perspective of our drone for a better view. This sunset is seen over the Pamlico Sound in Buxton, NC on Hatteras Island. Taken at low tide, the photo captures a sand bar out in the sound as well as a recognizable soundside coastline.
