Memorial Day is the official start of summer and what’s a better way to kick it off than a sunny day on the Outer Banks of North Carolina? There is an array of fun activities to do at the OBX. Offshore fishing, parasailing, kayaking and kiteboarding are top favorites. On these barrier islands, the scenic beaches, delicious restaurants, and a visit to the Wright Brothers National Monument are a must. Visit our Veteran and Military page for events and historical facts about Outer Banks. Let’s get summer started!
Fun on the Land
The only thing better than waking up and smelling the fresh salty air from your beach house is laying on the beach and stretching your feet out into the warm sand. The OBX beaches are the ultimate getaway. If there is a history buff in your crew, the Wright Brothers National Monument, The Lost Colony, and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse will absolutely pique their interest with possibility & hope.
Rollin’ in the Waves
It’s said to be true that the Outer Banks is the ultimate kiteboarding destination with our steady winds and rolling dunes. Are you looking for a new sport to try? No one is ever too old or young to feel the spirit of surfing a wave. Maybe you would rather test your fishing skills and charter a boat, head out to the Gulf Stream and take your chances reeling in a Marlin (or two)!
Dining Out
Restaurants on the Outer Banks are filled with fresh local fare and beach décor that will definitely make you feel like you’re on vacation. There Outer Banks are known for their beautiful sunsets. Where there is a sunset, there is outdoor dining. Enjoy a cocktail with some local steamed shrimp or conch fritters that will stir the soul with delight and happiness. See you on the deck!
