16 OF THE MOST FUN THINGS TO DO IN OUTER BANKS, NORTH CAROLINA

After experiencing many of the fun things to do in Outer Banks and its natural beauty, we can report that this destination is just heaven. 

1. Sunrise over the Beach

It was gentle, humble and soft as it painted the sky in pastel pinks and oranges transforming the water to still glass. And, each morning a pod of about 20 dolphins swam out the front of the rising sun, one even leaping out of the water with joy. 

2. Hang Gliding at Jockey’s Ridge State Park

It’s not all surf, sand, and scrumptious seafood in the OBX. All good vacations need a dose of adventure. A chance to step out of your comfort zone and create a story to share forever.

3. Breakfast Views at Freshfit Cafe, Nags Head

If you enjoy a healthy breakfast with stunning views, find your way to Freshfit Cafe overlooking the sound on Nags Head-Manteo Causeway. It’s tucked away as all hidden secrets should be.

4. Surfing at the Outer Bank

Admittedly, we did not get to check out all the surfing spots in the Outer Banks, nor at the time when the swell was happening, but from our observations on our short OBX trip, Nags Head Pier had the cleanest breaks. 

5. Paddle Boarding at the Outer Bank

Seeking fun things to do in Outer Banks, then be sure to pack your paddle boards (or rent some). It’s one of my favorite outdoor activities, especially with kids.
