Outer Banks Christmas Show

We're all decorated for the holidays like many of you and this is a great time to be on the Outer Banks! Until December 28th the Outer Banks Music Showcase is putting on their "Christmas Show" which I know a lot of people have enjoyed. They have even had motor coaches come down for the day to enjoy this live show. You can find out more information and schedule times at: http://www.outerbanksmusicshowcase.com/.

We have been experiencing some warm weather on the beach, and it helps make the shopping a little easier! Many shops have great one-of-a-kind Outer Banks gifts on sale, and of course we have gift certificates available for those wanting to give a gift of a beach stay!

This mild weather has been a great time to take long walks on the beach or on the various trails on the Outer Banks. I ventured out towards Alligator River (about 20 minutes from Manteo over the Virginia Dare Bridge) recently and was lucky enough to view all the birds migrating south for the winter. As we drove the Wildlife Drive by the start of the Kuralt Trail you could see and hear the birds in the flooded fields--it's a great site for anyone who loves to be outdoors . In a more remote section of the area we were able to see a mama bear and cub in one of the open fields (they seemed to be enjoying the sun)--it was all very exciting.

So come for a show, go shopping, or come and see the Outer Banks wildlife---we have great specials going on to make it all affordable for you during this holiday season! Gift certificates are available for all of our locations.

Christmas By The Sea This Weekend (Dec 5-7)

Come and join us on the Outer Banks this weekend for the annual Christmas by the Sea event in Manteo starting with a tree lighting ceremony Friday night (about 5:45 pm) with caroling and a visit by Santa!

On Saturday there is a parade and kids can visit Santa at the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum. There's even a bake sale where you can grab homemade goodies to benefit the PTA for Manteo Elementary.

On Sunday at Manteo's Town Hall William Ivey Long II, a Tony Award Winning Costume Designer (and the Grand Marshall this year) will discuss his career with a few of his extraordinary costumes on view. There is limited seating to this event and it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

All the events are FREE for Christmas By The Sea, and there are plenty of quaint shops to buy holiday one-of-a-kind presents for your friends and family. And there are plenty of restaurants to choose from for a great Outer Banks dinner.

So make plans to join us on the Outer Banks for this event--we have the perfect accommodations waiting for your stay!
