What to Expect When Visiting the Outer Banks in September
Weather
September is arguably the best time to visit the Outer Banks, especially because of the weather. Temperatures range from the high 60s to the low 80s, making it a perfect month to relax on the beach and enjoy the sunshine. Being that it’s the coast, rain comes and goes somewhat frequently. The summer crowds also tend to dissipate once September hits due to school, so you can expect plenty of space to yourself outside of Labor Day weekend.
Activities
Relax on the Beach
There’s nothing better than relaxing on the beaches of the North Carolina coast, especially when the summer crowds are gone. Head to Nags Head Beach and Kill Devil Hills Beach during your trip to the Outer Banks in September for plenty of family fun. The weather is still warm enough to play in the ocean, build sandcastles, and suntan throughout the day!
Discover Outer Banks History
The North Carolina coast is full of rich heritage revolving around centuries of maritime history. Roanoke Island is home to a handful of these attractions, including Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Roanoke Island Festival Park, and “The Lost Colony” play. You can also head over to the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills to see the location of the first flight. These are all fantastic places to check out during your visit to the Outer Banks in September.
Explore the Great Outdoors
The Outer Banks is full of adventures for even the most intrepid explorer. Whether you love watersports, hiking, biking, or swimming, there’s something here for everyone. The Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Nags Head Woods Preserve Trail, and Jockey’s Ridge State Park are just a few of the unique wilderness areas that are unique to the coast.
