Travel Inspiration: Plan a Romantic Getaway to Rodanthe

Two unsuspecting strangers find themselves alone in a quintessential coastal setting and begin a life changing romance. Sound like the perfect love story?

Nicholas Sparks thought so when he wrote the best-selling novel Nights in Rodanthe, now a major motion picture staring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. The film tells the story of a doctor (Gere) who is traveling to see his estranged son when he meets an unhappily married woman (Lane) at a North Carolina inn. The two are forced to weather a storm together and in the process find a love that will stay with them forever.

Filmed in the Outer Banks, Nights in Rodanthe is sure to become one of the year’s most travel inspiring films. The movie is not only named for, but is also set in Rodanthe, a small town on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in the Outer Banks, approximately 30 miles south of Nags Head, N.C. Rodanthe is the eastern most point of North Carolina, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound to the west.

The town’s peaceful seaside charm is the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway without sacrificing the conveniences of a more urban setting. The Outer Banks offer dining, shopping, nightlife, and recreational activities to suit any taste. It is also easy to access any of the towns in the Outer Banks via North Carolina’s highways and bridges.
