You Can Count on Mild and Inviting Weather
Spring Break is an ideal time to head to the Outer Banks if you’re looking to avoid any scorching summer temperatures but you’re not looking to bundle up in a parka. Between March and April, the Outer Banks enjoys daily highs lingering around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Even the nighttime temperatures remain refreshingly mild at around 50 degrees on average. This means that no matter what you have on your itinerary, you can balance a Spring Break getaway with just as much focus on outdoor fun as indoor entertainment. No, you might not want to go for a swim, but it’s the perfect time of year to try something like kite surfing, beachcombing, or stargazing from the sand.
Add Fun Seasonal Events to Your List
While everyone’s Spring Break falls at a slightly different time, the Outer Banks has a variety of fun seasonal events on the annual calendar that fall between March and April. If you’re looking to get in on the entertainment and your Outer Banks Spring Break travel plans bring you here in March over St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll be right on time to participate in the St. Patrick’s Day Weekend Beer Mile that’s typically hosted by the team over at the Outer Banks Brewing Station. There’s also an annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in Nags Head if you’re here with the entire crew in tow and you’re looking for family-friendly options to add to the itinerary. Don’t miss out on the OBX Taste of the Beach event at the end of March which showcases the very best bites and seafood selections across the Outer Banks. It’s a must for food enthusiasts and really, anyone with a craving to curb. In April, travelers who are heading this way for Spring Break fun can enjoy the Fly Into Spring Kite Festival hosted at Jockey’s Ridge State Park. The annual OBX Duathlon is held in April on the Outer Banks as well as the annual Los Colony Wine & Culinary Festival over in Manteo.

Get Out on the Water in Style
The Outer Banks is always an amazing place for anglers to enjoy but spring’s mild weather gives you even more reason to get out on the waves and cast a line. It’s typical for anglers to reel in everything from yellowfin tuna, trout, red drum, and blue fish when April rolls around, crabs are also plentiful as the waters begin to warm up. If you’re not ready to explore on your own, there are many local outfitters ready and waiting to help you organize a fishing charter in the area. From deep sea and inshore excursions to half or full days of fun on the water, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss while you’re in town.
Explore Local Museums and Historical Landmarks
Spring Break is a wonderful time to take advantage of afternoons exploring local museums, monuments, and landmarks before the summer crowds roll in. If you’re visiting with kids, don’t overlook an opportunity to spend some time at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is a great way to incorporate history and education into your stay while the many lighthouses that adorn the Outer Banks make for great photo opportunities as well as climbing experiences in some cases! You’ll enhance the view and see just why these structures have been so important to the North Carolina coast.
