As the fall season settles in and the remaining summer vacationers head back home, the Outer Banks welcomes the quiet, less crowded season with a collective sigh. Even the sun seems to appreciate the slow down, expressing itself with some of the most dynamic and colorful sunrises and sunsets of the year, begging us all to slow down and take notice.
With cooler temperatures and less crowds, the area shifts its focus from our beautiful sandy beaches to hosting events and activities celebrating community, culture and sport here on the Outer Banks. From music to seafood, fishing to flying, October provides plenty of opportunities to celebrate all the great things on this magical barrier island we love to call home.
