Top 10 Spots for Dad on the Outer Banks

Top 10 Spots for Dad on the Outer Banks

Summertime is always a fun time for dads (and the rest of the family) to get outdoors. The weather is nice and it’s a great time of year to hit the road for that long-awaited Outer Banks vacation. Most importantly, though, it is a great time of year to get away from it all and reconnect with your family – creating memories for years to come.

With that in mind, and in honor of dads everywhere, here is our list of the Top 10 Dad Spots on the Outer Banks:

1. The beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks.

For the dad that likes to relax.  Which, after all, is any dad, right?

  
2. Reeling in the “big” one.

From the ocean to the sound, fishing piers to offshore charters, dads will find an unparalleled array of catch when it comes to Outer Banks fishing. The Outer Banks is often called “The Billfish Capital of the World”…and the International Game Fish Association lists 92 world records for fish caught on the Outer Banks

  
3. A board meeting – Outer Banks-style.

As a Seaside Vacations guest, dads get to experience the local culture with Club Seaside events – like surfing and paddle boarding.

  
4. High atop the dunes of Jockey’s Ridge.

For the truly outdoors-y type, head on over to Jockey’s Ridge State Park.  This 426-acre park has the largest natural living sand dune on the East Coast and is home to hang gliding, kite flying, hiking, a visitor’s center, museum and picnic facilities.

  
5. Catching a glimpse of Corolla’s Wild Horses

From guided jeep tours to do-it-yourself excursions, dad (and everyone else!) is sure to love breathtaking views of the beautiful Spanish mustangs that can still be seen roaming the beaches of Carova.

  
6. Climbing the steps of any of our Outer Banks lighthouses.

Even dads will love these giant nightlights. Our beautiful string of renowned lighthouses stretch from Corolla (northern end) all the way to Ocracoke Island (southern end).

  
7. Exploring nature at Pea Island.

Grab a kayak and check out this 6,000-acre refuge that is a haven for more than 360 species of birds. From spring to autumn, a large variety of wading, shore and upland birds can be seen at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.

  
8. Partaking in seafaring tales at The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum.

For dads that like tales of ghost ships and angry seas, take dad to check out this unique maritime museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the rich maritime history of the Outer Banks and the more than 1,500 known ships wrecks off this coast.

  
9. At the top of his game at Kilmarlic Golf Club.

In addition to the special guest rates, Seaside Vacations guests also have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary golf clinic with a member of Kilmarlic Golf Club’s instructional staff. Consistently rated one of the top courses on the Outer Banks, let dad play his way through canopies of giant oak, pine and dogwood that exemplify the natural beauty of North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

  
10. Hanging with the family in a Seaside Vacations home.

From cozy condominiums to large private homes, dad can choose from nearly 300 Outer Banks vacation rentals – each with their own special features. Whether he prefers luxurious living or simple seaside comfort, Seaside Vacations has the perfect Outer Banks vacation to show dad he’s the best.

  
These are just a sampling of many activities that dads are sure to love on the Outer Banks.  Check out the full list of Outer Banks activities and attractions and get out and explore!

Recently, the Baltimore Sun wrote a series of articles about the Outer Banks encouraging Baltimore residents to hit the OBX for their summer vacation. 

With beaches like Ocean City, Maryland becoming increasingly bombarded with more and more people every year, the Outer Banks still has many areas that have maintained their quaint charm and sense of seclusion on the beach. There are different towns on the Outer Banks, and each of them has their own sense of charm, and all of the towns remain very family friendly.  Weather you stay in Duck or Nags Head, you and your family will be extremely happy with your trip to the Outer Banks. 

The first article, entitled Outer Banks: Hundreds of Miles of Vacation Fun, highlighted the area and a list of restaurants, activities, accommodations, etc.  As the article highlights, there is no shortage of fun things to do on the OBX. 

25 Things to do on the Outer Banks was the second article in the series that serves as a great checklist for visitors to the Outer Banks to enjoy all of the fun activites on the OBX.  The 25 activitites on the list are as follows:

1. Spend time in Historic Manteo.
2. Go for a bike ride.
3. Picnic at the marina.
4. Celebrate the Fourth.
5. Run for your life.
6. Pump iron.
7. Go fly a kite
8. Learn how to hang glide
9. View fine art.
10. Visit The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island
11. Eat local.
12. Visit Bodie Island Light.
13. Climb Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
14. Check out The Lost Colony
15. Discover flight
16. See a play.
17. Take a stroll.
18. Visit The Elizabethan Gardens
19. Take in the Nature Conservancy at Nags Head Woods Preserve
20. Get a massage
21. Go fish
22. Go Golfing
23. Read a Book
24. Shop ’til you drop.
25. Relax

Outer Banks Events Calender serves as a excellent events guide for visitors to the Outer Banks and was the last article in the series.

Record Year for Jockey’s Ridge…and All North Carolina State Parks

Posted on
1

One of the nice aspects about life is that there is generally a “silver lining,” or a positive spin, that can be found in difficult situations.  The current economic pinch definitely qualifies as a difficult situation, but a silver lining for visitors and local residents to North Carolina is an increase in interest towards North Carolina state parks. 

State parks offer a wide variety of great activities and a great opportunity to get closer to nature, and considering the current economic conditions, state parks are a great opportunity to enjoy some unique activities at a very reasonable price…many free!

The North Carolina state parks reported record attendance for 2009, with 14.16 million visits.  That is a 13% increase  from 2008 and a 5% increase from the previous record set in 2007.

The Outer Banks offers some great areas to escape to nature, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Nags Head Woods, Outer Banks Wildlife Center, and one North Carolina designated state park;  Jockeys Ridge State Park. 

In 2009, Jockey’s Ridge earned the designation as the most visited North Carolina state park with 1.4 million visitors.  Considering this was a record setting year for all North Carolina state parks, it is pretty impressive to see the OBX state park with the most visitors. 

 Jockey’s Ridge is centrally located in Nags Head, a quick walk or ride from many vacation homes.
