Welcome back to our third installment of the 'What's on your Outer Banks Bucket List' and in this post we will be covering Spring. While it may seem like it's a little too early to even think about your Spring vacation, we promise you that it's never too early. Spring is an excellent time of the year to visit the Outer Banks as the temperature has warmed up enough to enjoy many of the items on your list. Staying in one of our OBX vacation rentals will allow you and your family to get to explore the Outer Banks even more, this Spring.

OBX Taste of the Beach

Seafood festivals on the coast of North Carolina are always a big hit year-round, but for the Outer Banks, we're most excited about Taste of the Beach. This year the 4-day event will be happening from March 24 - March 26, 2023. Some of the things that you'll experience are food, drinks, and live entertainment fun for the whole family. We can't wait to hear how you enjoyed this event this spring!

Another great festival occurring this year for its 5th year is The Lost Colony Wine, Beer & Culinary Festival. This fun event is happening on Saturday, April 15, at The Lost Colony on Roanoke Island. You'll be able to enjoy some good ole southern hospitality as you get to experience some local wines, local craft beers, and some local cuisine. Some of the other things that will be happening during this festival are a silent auction, taking in breathtaking views of Jockey's Ridge Sand Dunes in the distance, and the Wright Brothers Memorial. Joe Lamb Jr. is a proud sponsor of The Lost Colony here on the Outer Banks.  

A Crabbing We Will Go

One of the best things about vacationing to the Outer Banks is the number of outdoor activities that you have to choose from. Crabbing is another excellent option that many anglers love to do here on the OBX. You can either crab in the morning or the afternoon, and best yet, you can take the crabs back to your OBX vacation rental and have a seafood boil. Before heading out to do a little crabbing with the family, you will need to make sure that you have a valid NC Fishing License. If you're looking for something to do with the kids at night and you don't feel like they'd enjoy the daytime crabbing, hunt for them. Be sure to bring a small shovel, pail, and flashlight as you let them chase ghost crabs by the water. See how many each can get in a small amount of time and just enjoy spending time with the family.

Spring on the Outer Banks is a great time to visit as you'll be able to experience all the fun events that happen every year. Staying in one of our OBX vacation rentals, you'll be closer to the fun each spring. We want to know what is on your #OBXBucketList this spring?
