Thanksgiving on the Outer Banks

Days Inn Oceanfront's Lobby

Thanksgiving starts our season of cozy warmth: gatherings with family and visiting with friends. Each year the Outer Banks has welcomed more and more family and friends who visit with each other while visiting with us. Many local restaurants now offer fabulous Thanksgiving dinners so visitors don't have to feel left out not cooking their own turkey or stuffing.

This is a great time to visit the beach with the many local shops offering discounts for great holiday Outer Banks gifts, and accommodations of all sorts offering off season rates. Many places are still open for Thanksgiving as it has become a busy holiday for the beach, so visitors need not fear seeing closed shops or restaurants.

For example the weekend of the 28th finds Kitty Hawk Kites with their annual "Kites With Lights" event. On Saturday night (29th) KHK will light kites at the top of Jockey's Ridge starting at sunset. This is a fabulous thing to bring kids of all sizes to, and each day kids can get their picture taken with Santa. For more information go to: http://www.kittyhawkkites.com/.

So come on down and have Thanksgiving dinner on the Outer Banks. We have several discounted specials going on ourselves--the Winter Blast Discount at each hotel and Reel Deal Specials at our cottage court. We hope to see you on the beach soon!
