Before you plan your trip, don't forget to check out our "Area Guide" section of our website. The Things To Do page is filled with ideas and suggestions from a few different OBX areas, making it the ideal tool to plan your Thanksgiving family getaway!
OBX Vacation Rental Thanksgivings
The Outer Banks have been a holiday destination year after year for families and large groups of friends to gather at the beach. It's a great way to reserve a vacation rental for a celebration surrounded by those you love for a long weekend away from work.
Thanksgiving with the family on the Outer Banks is an excellent way to start the holiday season. The weather in November is usually in the mid-60s is generally mild, and the night falls to a little cooler mid-50s. You may have a warm enough sunny Thanksgiving Day to relax on the beach most of the day. In this case, we advise planning your Thanksgiving meal ahead of time.
Grocery Store Shopping or Restaurant Take Out
Complete Thanksgiving meals are sometimes available for ordering and pick up.
Take the guessing game out of your feast by ordering a full Thanksgiving dinner from a local OBX restaurant or grocery store. You can simply pick it up. Some foods have to be cooked and others are fresh. Full meals should be pre-ordered and advanced time limits are generally available before ordering.
This is an excellent option if you do not have a lot of experience making a huge feast or want to make things simple for the family but still want to eat in private. Make sure to see the November 2022 hours of every restaurant or grocery store for additional information and ordering policy.
What To Expect At The Rental
