Outer Banks Activities for a Rainy Day

Unfortunately, not all days spent in the Outer Banks are filled with sunshine and perfect beach weather. Luckily, there are many things that you can do to still have fun in the event that rainy weather keeps you from enjoying the outdoors during a portion of your vacation.

The Outer Banks offers many shops and restaurants that you can explore. Spend the day browsing the fine antique shops and then stop in a local restaurant to grab some lunch. You will be amazed at what you can find by just exploring.

If you like history, a rainy day is the perfect opportunity to learn about the Outer Banks. There are many museums and attractions that you and your whole family will love. Visit the Graveyard of the Atlantic, Roanoke Island Festival Park or the Wright Brothers National Memorial for some interesting information and great exhibits.

Rainy days can be great for seeing a movie or going bowling. Movie theaters are sprinkled throughout the area so check to see which is closest to where you are staying. Rainy days prove to be busy days for the theaters, so get your tickets early. Bowling can be fun for the entire family and The Nags Head Bowling Center is the only bowling alley in the Outer Banks. While the 24 lanes are the main attraction, this facility also has a video arcade, billiards and more.

Another great way to spend a rainy day is with family and friends just hanging out in your rental unit. Spending time inside can be fun with a few movie rentals and great food prepared at home. Head out and get your favorite movies and then stop by the store to pick up some fresh seafood. The day can be spent relaxing and sampling some great snacks while spending time with your family.
