The fun continues on the Outer Banks when the crowds go home
Summer is known as peak season on the Outer Banks, but the shoulder season and “off-season” are both wonderful times to visit these barrier islands. While there may not be the typical swimming and sun bathing, there is still a lot of fun to be had on the OBX.
Starting with the obvious, if you’re renting a place on the Outer Banks, we’d suggest choosing one with a hot tub. An ocean front hot tub is great as you can sit and soak and enjoy the fresh salty air. Also how could you not enjoy spending time with a front row seat inside a cozy beach house and a good book and glass of wine, while the wind and waves roar outside.
But besides coming here to relax, you may want to do a little sight seeing or outdoor recreation, so let’s explore those options.
- Walk where history was made, visit the Wright Brother’s Memorial with its state of the art visitor center
- Go on a fishing Charter
- Hire an outfitter to go duck hunting, some with traditional sink boxes in the Pamlico Sound
- Spend the day at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island
- Grow memories at the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island
- Hit some of the quaint shops, brewery and eateries in downtown Manteo
- Stop by Big Buck’s in Kitty Hawk for a banana split (57 homemade ice cream flavors) and candy shop
- Visit the big three Outer Banks lighthouses (Currituck Beach in Corolla, Bodie Island in Nags Head and Cape Hatteras Island in Buxton)
- Cruise over the new Basnight Bridge and fish off the old Bonner Bridge Pier on the Oregon Inlet
- Beachcomb Pea Island or continue down to the Cape for some great shelling and surf fishing
- Experience an apple ugly at Orange Blossom Bakery
