America’s 250th
In 2026, the United States commemorates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a milestone that invites reflection and renewed appreciation for the places woven into the nation’s story.
Few destinations are more closely tied to those early chapters than the Outer Banks. Nearby Roanoke Island is home to the mystery of the Lost Colony at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, where England’s first settlement attempt in the New World began in 1587. Along the coast, landmarks like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the preserved shoreline of Cape Hatteras National Seashore reflect centuries of maritime history. Just south, the Wright Brothers National Memorial marks the birthplace of powered flight, another defining American achievement.
Celebrate the occasion with a summer escape that gives you time to explore both the history and the natural beauty of the region. When you stay three nights or more, you’ll receive a $250 resort credit to enhance your experience.
Apply your credit toward:
- Coastal dining experiences
- Restorative spa treatments
- On-property amenities and seasonal programming
Spend your days visiting nearby historic sites, climbing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, exploring Roanoke Island, or simply enjoying long afternoons by the water. Return to the Sanderling for relaxed evenings and unhurried time together.
A milestone worth honoring deserves a destination equally meaningful.
