== Fun facts ==
* Because it includes much of Pamlico Sound, Dare County is the largest county in North Carolina by total area, although if one were to consider land area only, it drops down to 68th in size among the state's 100 counties. This is because, according to the Census Bureau's 2010 statistics, only 24.54% of its area is land, the lowest percentage of all counties in the state. Robeson is the largest county in North Carolina by land area only.
* Politically, Dare County is strongly Republican in most elections.
* In October, Duck hosts its annual Jazz Festival. During the summer months, the town offers over 60 events and programs including Yoga on the Green, Movies on the Sound, a family magic show, live concerts and interactive theater. Programs are free and open to the public.
* Manns Harbor is the only municipality counted by the census on Mainland Dare.
* The majority of the Outer Banks are in the county's boundaries, along with Roanoke Island. North Carolina Highway 12 is the road used to traverse them up and down.
* In 2005, Manteo restored its coastal warning display tower, and it is now operated by the Manteo branch of the North Carolina Maritime Museum.
* Andy Griffith was a long-time resident of Manteo prior to his death in 2012.
* At one time, the now-abandoned town of Buffalo City was the largest community in the county.
* Most of mainland Dare is within the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. It was established on March 14, 1984, to preserve and protect a unique wetland habitat type; the pocosin; and its associated wildlife species.
