October Brings Big Events, wide open beaches and gorgeous weather
Fall is working its magic on the Outer Banks right now. Cool breezes, bright sunshine and mild temperatures are the hallmark of the barrier islands in autumn. You feel like you have the entire place to yourself. There are beaches in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore where you can walk for miles and never see another person, making them ripe for picking seashells and beautiful beach glass. If you crave outdoor adventure, then you’ll find some of the best surf fishing in America. The Outer Banks is one of the few places on the east coast where you can drive right on the beach to access the best spots for catching red drum, rockfish, flounder, croaker, Spanish mackerel and bluefish to name a few. High adventure can be found on the giant sand dunes of Jockey’s Ridge in Nags Head, where you can learn to hang glide over rolling sand hills like thousands of travelers have before you. Glide through our salt marshes and sounds on the west side of the islands in a kayak built for one or two, or try kiteboarding in one of the most popular spots in the United States to learn the fast growing sport. Take a family field trip to where mankind first flew at Wright Brothers National Memorial, or perhaps Roanoke Island Festival Park which is an attraction that interprets the history of the first English Colony in America circa 1585.
