Just in time for summer vacations, a new waterpark opened in the Outer Banks Thursday. The H2OBX waterpark is situated on 20 acres
on U.S. 158 in Powells Point, three miles from the Wright Memorial Bridge, the northern gateway to the Outer Banks.
From the bridge, developers said that tourists would be able to see a broad view of the $46 million waterpark, which includes slide towers and pools.
Many of the park’s attractions pay tribute to coastal Carolina’s history of pirates, boat building and the story of the Wright brothers’ first flight.
