What’s more fun than a day at the beach? A day at H2OBX Waterpark! Just 3 miles over the Wright Memorial Bridge, H2OBX has earned its spot as the #1 Outer Banks family summer attraction for its commitment to cleanliness, safety and ever-expanding options for excitement and relaxation. Catering to all ages with more than 20 thrilling slides and rides, a soothing lazy river and a kid-friendly play area, H2OBX is easier than a day at the beach thanks to cabanas, on-site refreshments, and showers and restrooms. In this Local Spotlight, H2OBX General Manager Damian Dondero walks us through all the reasons H2OBX is such a well-loved local attraction and not your typical waterpark.
