Summer is prime time for family gatherings and celebrations such as backyard barbecues, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and of course family vacations. If you and your family have long dreamed of a family-friendly vacation spot that allows the adults to kick back and relax while keeping the kids entertained in a fun, safe environment, then you may want to consider having family gatherings and vacations in the Outer Banks.
Located off the shore of North Carolina, the Outer Banks are 200-mile long string of narrow barrier islands that extend into a small portion of Virginia. Long considered a hot spot in terms of family and kid-oriented vacations, the Outer Banks boasts a variety of family friendly condos, beachfront dining establishments, and oceanfront hotels that the entire family will love.
Many Outer Banks resorts offer premium or all inclusive Outer Banks packages that make having a family vacation there both enjoyable and very affordable. These packages are also perfect for weddings in the Outer Banks, which has become a popular go-to location for destination weddings.
Part of the reason why the Outer Banks are such a popular beach location for families, weddings, and even business or professional conferences lies in its versatility. There is literally something for everyone in the Outer Banks, whether you simply want to have a relaxing day at the beach, tour a museum, experience the local wildlife, or enjoy an exquisitely prepared meal.
While summer is by far the most popular time to visit the Outer Banks, spring, fall, and even winter are also excellent times to enjoy all it has to offer as well. Temperatures remain in the 80’s well into September, with fall and winter temperatures being generally mild. This allows for a variety of both indoor and outdoor activities, and of course spectacular scenery.
However, in order to truly appreciate all that the Outer Banks has to offer, you just have to go there and experience it for yourself.
