As scenic as it is exciting, the Outer Banks is a one-stop destination for family-focused fun when it’s time to enjoy a well-deserved vacation. If you’re heading here with children, the following are a few Outer Banks family activities to be sure to add to the itinerary to elevate the experience!
Make It a Beach-Focused Adventure
When you’re looking for things to do in OBX, spending time on the sand with the little ones is easier than ever for those travelers who head to the Outer Banks. Here, you’ll find miles upon miles of coastline to enjoy as well as gentle surf for water-based fun. The kids will love building sandcastles, looking for shells, or swimming at places like the inviting beaches in Corolla. If you’re traveling with kids and pets too, Duck Beach is pet-friendly which lets everyone in on the shoreline fun. If you bring binoculars, there are opportunities to build bird watching into your adventures while any amount of time spent on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a chance to show kids just how important wildlife ecosystems are on the coast.
See Wild Horses
If you head over to Corolla with the kids during your Outer Banks stay, you’ll have opportunities to book wild horse-watching tours that are truly inspiring and one-of-a-kind! There are over 100 wild mustangs that still thrive on the shores of Carova Beach and booking a tour is a great way to get close safely while learning more about the population’s history along the way.
Enjoy Mini Golf with the Kids
For fun things to do in OBX, a great activity to enjoy with the little ones during your Outer Banks adventure is mini golf! This is an activity that incorporates a bit of friendly competition with a lot of whimsical details included. Make your way to Paradise Fun Park in Kill Devil Hill to find an 18-hole mini golf course that’s worth checking out. There are also mini golf courses in Nags Head at Mutiny Bay Adventure Golf and in Buxton. No matter which you choose, it’s bound to be a fun-for-all experience.
