Just because it's winter, doesn't mean the Outer Banks has ceased to exist. For a lot of people, winter is the best time of the year to be here—it's uncrowded, the pace of life has slowed down, a walk on the beach is a great time to spend time with just yourself or someone special. Other than an occasional dog romping in the surf with an owner nearby, there are not too many people walking along the ocean.
Of course it can get a little chilly—it is still winter after all. An amazing winter day today with temperatures in the upper 60s but that will probably change by the end of the week.
But if things have slowed down, there are still some great things to do. To help with that decision making process, we've highlighted a couple of upcoming events.
A suggestion: the week of March 13-20 would great time to be on the Outer Banks Kelly's St. Patrick's Day Parade kicking things off on Sunday, March 13 and the week wrapping up with the Outer Banks Taste of the Beach.
Call us here at Joe Lamb Jr., & Associates. and let us find you a place to stay.
