3. School’s Out For Summer

July is perhaps the easiest month of the year to gather your loved ones for a vacation. With no school or athletic schedules to dodge, it’s way easier to spend a week together on the Outer Banks. Back-to-School chatter will begin soon – take advantage of your opportunity to get some beach time in before schedules get hectic again. 

Gather your loved ones for a getaway just like this family who has been vacationing with us in July for nearly 30 years!

4. Beautiful Weather

Not only is July the most likely to have more beach days than any other month of the year, but it also provides gorgeous sunny weather for all sorts of outdoor activities on or off the beach. Try kayaking the sound or taking a hike through Nags Head Woods. You may be surprised by how one with nature you are by the end of your vacation! Even on the rare chance of a rainy day, there’s plenty to do if the weather happens to not be nice enough for a day outside.
