In which U.S. state is Outer Banks Season 5 primarily set?

Outer Banks Season 5 is primarily set in North Carolina.

The series takes place in a fictional coastal community inspired by North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The setting supplies the beaches, barrier-island atmosphere, marshes, boating culture, and sharp social divide that define the world of the Pogues and Kooks.

The production location is different from the story location. Much of Outer Banks has been filmed in and around Charleston, South Carolina, whose landscapes can represent the fictional North Carolina setting. This distinction is one of the show’s most common geography-related mix-ups.

Season 5 continues the established North Carolina setting while expanding the characters’ adventure beyond their home territory. Even when the plot travels internationally, Kildare County and the Outer Banks remain the story’s central point of reference.
