A Great Place To View Migrating Birds & More

Even geese love it at the Days Inn & Suites Mariner!

The Outer Banks is the perfect place for bird lovers to watch the annual migration on all sorts of bird species---and sometimes when you stay with us you don't have to go far to check them out! Every year people travel to view various species of birds at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge as they migrate for the winter. Another great place to visit is Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (about 20 minutes driving time from Manteo) which has a driving trail in which you view the refuge from the comfort of your car. Maps are available at the entrance of these roads and their website can be found at: http://www.outer-banks.com/alligator-river/.

There's even a festival held every year on the Outer Banks called "Wings Over Water" which you can learn more about here http://www.wingsoverwater.org/. It's a great place for birders to meet with daily trips around the Outer Banks to view different bird types. "Wings Over Water" will take place November 4-9 this year and all registration information can be found on their website. We will be offering 15% off our normal nightly rate for anyone mentioning "Wings Over Water" when making their reservations for the nights of 11/4-11/7 (1 discount per reservation).

The weather is still mild, and it's the perfect time to be outdoors on the Outer Banks. So bring some friends and family and check out the wildlife on the Outer Banks!
