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 beautiful beaches offering everything from world-class fishing to watersports adventures, 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:




Reel in the Fun: Fishing Adventures

If your dad loves to fish, the Outer Banks is a dream destination. Spend the day on a chartered deep-sea fishing trip, cast a line from one of the area’s iconic piers like Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, or try your luck surf fishing along the shoreline. Father’s Day in June falls in peak fishing season, with chances to catch cobia, tuna, red drum, and more.  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.


Unwind on the Beach

The Outer Banks offers 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.

Hit the Greens

Treat Dad to a relaxing round of golf at one of the OBX’s scenic courses. Courses like Kilmarlic Golf Club and Nags Head Golf Links offer stunning coastal views, challenging holes, and top-notch amenities. Follow the game with a cold drink and ocean breeze—perfection!

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, Sanctuary Vineyards. If a distillery is more Dad's style, be sure to take him to experience OBX's very own Rum Distillery, the 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.

OBX History  

For the history buff dad, explore the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills and learn about the birthplace of aviation.


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!
