A Breezy Day On The Outer Banks

The beach at the Days Inn Oceanfront yesterday

As you can see it was a bit breezy yesterday on the Outer Banks, but our beautiful Carolina Blue Skies were a great back drop for a wonderful day. This type of weather is great for kite flying---on the beach, at the Wright Brothers Memorial, or on Jockey's Ridge (the largest natural sand dune on the East Coast). Recently I've been noticing a lot of hang gliders taking off from the dunes on Jockey's Ridge---it's cool to see them taking off and hovering in the wind like birds (the fellow I was watching was hovering, he didn't actually get to the "glide" part while I was there). And of course the Outer Banks is world famous for our kite boarding, so the kite boarders like this windy weather too.

Fishing seems to be doing well from the amount of fishermen we have had visit with us this week at the hotels. One of our staff went fishing with a friend on one of the piers this past weekend, and said that folks were catching quite a few fish while she was there.

So there's plenty to do---rain, wind, or shine and we've got great discounts to take advantage of for any length of stay---so we hope to see you soon on the beautiful Outer Banks!
