Warm Up Your Winter in the Outer Banks
Winters in the Outer Banks of North Carolina are filled with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. The Atlantic coast breezes may bring the occasional rain shower, but during the off-season winter months you can find excellent deals on places to stay. Winter is a time when you can truly have the Outer Banks all to yourself.
There is always something to do in the Outer Banks during the summer and winter offers plenty of sights and activities as well. North Carolina is home to some of the East Coast’s most beautiful nature preserves, such as the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Nature Conservancy at Nags Head Woods, and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Among the other sights is the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla, which is also home to the historic Whalehead Club. There is the Wright Brothers National Memorial, which commemorates the birthplace of flight, Jockey's Ridge State Park, home to the East Coast's tallest sand dunes, and the Elizabethan Gardens, a living memorial to the lost colonists of Roanoke.
For amazing natural drama, there are few landscapes in the Outer Banks as impressive as that of Hatteras Island, part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The peaceful, rugged beauty of Cape Hatteras is most striking during the winter, when the coastline is empty of the summer vacationers.
During the quiet winter months you can experience the warmth of the Outer Banks as you spend time enjoying the local treasures, all without the hustle, bustle, and heat of summer.
