A spring vacation is becoming more popular as our children’s K-12 schools have begun to offer Spring Breaks—similar in the idea to college spring breaks but with far less partying, of course! All spring months are not created equal, however, and the volatility of the season may have you wondering if your idea for a journey to the Outer Banks in April is a good idea. Pirate’s Cove Realty can tell you that, yes, it is a fine idea, and this guide to April weather in the Outer Banks will also give you a peek into what an idyllic spring vacation can look like, giving you a little something extra to look forward to in the months that lie ahead.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?
That is a question that actually has many different answers, but if you are looking for a vacation that offers fewer crowds, a peaceful quiet, and many wonderful moments at the beach, April is your month. Prices lower during the off season and your meals at the restaurants may cost less and there may be more sales at the stores you frequent, making this getaway one that won’t cause irreparable damage to your bank account.
But What About the Weather?
The idyllic experience of beautiful weather that is not too cold, too hot, or too humid will be yours during your Outer Banks adventures, with temperatures often reaching the high 60s to low 70s during the daylight hours and the mercury dropping only slightly to the mid to high 50s. April showers do bring May flowers, however, and there may be some rainy days in your future, but the romance of a gray and rainy day makes an April vacation great for couples. Walk along the beaches as the rain falls gently around you or gather around a roaring fire in your cozy escape, playing board games as storms rage just beyond the windows. These moments will be the ones you remember with a smile on your face long after you have returned home to real life.
The Month of Festivals
