Easter weekend on the Outer Banks offers a great mix of festive holiday activities and opportunities to enjoy the beach and the OBX towns without the crowds. While the ocean temperatures are still a bit chilly for swimming, the weather in April is typically mild and pleasant, with daytime highs in the 60’s and 70’s. April is a great time for long beach walks, golf, and sightseeing. There are also a wide array of activities and events happening over the Easter holiday:
- Fly Into Spring Kite Festival, where vibrant kites adorn the skies over Jockey’s Ridge State Park
