Spanning over 6.24 sq km (2.41 sq mi), on the outer banks of North Carolina is a quaint little village called Avon. With the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound, the largest lagoon along the North American East Coast, to the west, this thin strip of land is home to less than 1,000 people as per census data. Formerly called the Kinnakeet, it was the post office that renamed the place to Avon in 1883. The place is more popular for the Kinnakeet Life Saving station set up in 1884. Decommissioned in 1954, this station is now a part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Ideal for beach vacations and family trips, Avon has plenty to offer for families to discover together.
