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!

Seaside Vacations Announces Club Seaside

Seaside Vacations' Club Seaside

SEASIDE VACATIONS LAUNCHES CLUB SEASIDE
Guests enjoy complimentary golf and tennis clinics, yoga, wine tastings, surf lessons and circuit training

KITTY HAWK, NC (June 2, 2009) — Situated on a 100-mile stretch of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, the Outer Banks is so much more than just stunning vacation homes.  In an effort to provide guests with “more for less,” Seaside Vacations introduces Club Seaside.

Offered exclusively to all guests of Seaside Vacations, Club Seaside features a full calendar of weekly programs including professional golf and tennis clinics, yoga, wine tastings, surf lessons and circuit training – all at no cost to guests.  In addition, all Seaside Vacations’ guests have complimentary access to a state-of-the-art health and racquet club and special guest rates at a world-class golf club.  Each day of the week guests can enjoy complimentary activities and experience local culture by participating in one of these Outer Banks activities.

The economy is struggling, and the travel industry is sluggish along with every other segment of the economy.  Travel forecasts for 2009 predict a significant decline; The Travel Industry Association (TIA) notes that “consumers are likely to plan and purchase leisure trips differently [this year] with the pursuit of a ‘good value’ as the primary reason why.”  Seaside Vacations views these challenges as an opportunity to provide guests with the added value they are looking for.           

“As pointed out by the TIA, today’s guest is looking for a value,” says Seaside Vacations’ President, Gordon Jones, and “we believe that Club Seaside will provide vacationers with the added value they seek and help them experience all that the Outer Banks has to offer.”

John Cook, a longtime visitor to the Outer Banks and recent Seaside Vacations’ guest, took advantage of Club Seaside and mentioned that “this is the first time I’ve seen such an offering on the Outer Banks.”  Cook went on to say that Club Seaside is a “very impressive extra.” 

In addition to economic factors, the vacation rental industry faces unique challenges.  The vacation rental industry is rapidly gaining popularity, but a recent PhocusWright study on the industry points out that only 10% of Americans booked a vacation rental in the past two years.  Vacation rentals offer great benefits to the traveling public, including private pools, fully-equipped kitchens, and large spaces to gather as a group, however, PhocusWright points out that many travelers are “worried they wouldn’t have access to hotel-like services.”  Club Seaside gives guests the hotel-like services they desire. 

Seaside Vacations views an Outer Banks vacation as so much more than just a house at the beach. A vacation is time with friends and family, a chance to relax and unwind, and an opportunity to experience the local culture.  Seaside Vacations has created a variety of guest programs available to all Seaside Vacations’ guests that will enhance the Outer Banks vacation, introduce great local businesses, and add value to the vacation rental.  Seaside Vacations is committed to creating an exceptional vacation experience that includes a gorgeous house, but also access to local events that give guests access to all the Outer Banks has to offer. 

For more information on Club Seaside, including schedule and contact information, please visit www.OuterBanksVacations.com/ClubSeaside.htm.   

About Seaside Vacations:

Founded in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1990, Seaside Vacations is a full-service vacation rental management company representing homes from Corolla to Nags Head.

Seaside Vacations offers a complete selection of Outer Banks vacation rentals. Guests can choose from 1 – 14-bedroom private vacation rental homes, condominiums, townhomes and villas.   Explore properties in Duck and Corolla as well as numerous vacation rentals in Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head.
