Welcome to Waves, an OBX Village

Waves, Rodanthe, and Salvo are well known locally as the tri-villages of the Outer Banks. Each community runs together without a definitive border, as if the three towns were one village. Together they are a charming OBX village with gorgeous vacation homes, fantastic soundside access for windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts and in proximity to the National Wildlife Refuge for bird watchers.
