Dunes South is located on the Outer Banks,a string of narrow islands and peninsulas that lie between the ocean and the sounds. Featuring a 450-foot oceanfront, the resort has an outdoor pool that overlooks the ocean and dunes, a picnic area, and putting green. Minutes away are hunting areas and championship golf courses. Charters are available for deep-sea fishing and surf casting. On nearby Roanoke Island, the first English colony was established in 1585, and many historic sites from colonial days remain.
