15 Best Places to Travel in July 2024

"The Outer Banks (often abbreviated as "OBX") are barrier islands located between North Carolina’s coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Beaches, state parks, lighthouses, museums, and historical sites provide plenty to see, and visitors can go fishing, kitesurfing, diving, boating, and hiking. The 46th Annual Wright Kite Festival is set for July 19-20, with 30- to 100-foot kites flying and on display. Guests can fly their own kites, take kite flying lessons, or visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial, where there’s a kite-making station for kids. As you might expect, seafood is a highlight of an OBX vacation, but remember to try some famous North Carolina barbecue, too. Breweries, distilleries, and wine-tasting rooms can be found on the OBX Beer, Wine, & Spirits Trail." - Travel + Leisure Editors
