Dad Does the OBX: Celebrating Father’s Day on the Outer Banks
Looking for the perfect way to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day? Look no further than the stunning Outer Banks! With its beautiful beaches offering everything from world-class fishing to historic lighthouses, the OBX is a haven for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Here are some ideas to craft the ideal Father’s Day adventure on the Outer Banks:
For the Adventure Dad:
Hit the High Seas: Book a deep-sea fishing charter and spend the day battling yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, or marlin. Check out our OBX Fishing page for suggestions and recommendations on where you can book a charter for a day of fun! For a less intense (but still exciting) option, a dolphin tour is a great way to see these playful creatures in their natural habitat.
Take to the Skies: Give Dad the gift of flight with a scenic air tour. Choose from biplanes or comfortable helicopters for breathtaking views of the Outer Banks coastline, lighthouses, and shipwrecks. It’ll be a trip that he won’t forget!
For the Relaxation Dad:
Unwind on the Beach: The Outer Banks boasts miles of beaches. Spend the day soaking up the sun, building sandcastles, or simply relaxing with a good book. Check out some of our Oceanfront properties where Dad can have the ocean in his backyard and not have to travel far to have his toes in the sand.
Wine & Dine: Treat Dad to a delicious meal at a local OBX restaurant. Fresh seafood is a must-try, and many restaurants offer stunning oceanfront views. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a glass of wine from one of the Outer Banks’ wineries, like Sanctuary Vineyards. If a distillery is more Dad’s style, be sure to take him to experience the OBX’s very own Rum Distillery, Kill Devil Rum Distillery located in Manteo. He can enjoy a tour of the distillery and of course sample some of the various types made right here on the Outer Banks.
Brews & Bites: For the dad who enjoys a good craft beer, head to the Outer Banks Brewing Station. Sample their latest brews and grab a bite to eat in their laid-back atmosphere. This brewery is family friendly with it’s backyard and playground, so everyone in the family can join in on the fun.
Bonus Ideas:
History Buff Dad? Explore the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills and learn about the birthplace of aviation.
Fisherman Dad? Take a walk out on Jennette’s Fishing Pier in Nags Head and enjoy panoramic views and try your hand at fishing at one of the most popular piers in the area.
No matter what Dad’s interests are, the Outer Banks offers something for everyone. So this Father’s Day, give Dad the gift of an unforgettable OBX adventure!
