If you’re looking to spend a beautiful vacation on the Outer Banks during the fall, heading out into one of the areas numerous waterways on a kayak will prove to be a memorable experience! Here are a few ideas for various Kayak excursions you can embark upon depending on what type of adventure you are looking for.
Sunset Excursions
It’s a proven fact that the sunsets of the fall don’t just LOOK to be more vivid than they are during any other time of the year, they in fact ARE. During this time, weather patterns provide us with a dry, clean air sweeping from the North, allowing more colors of the light spectrum to make it to our eyes. This provides the bright red, orange and pink sunsets we admire so much during this season. Some of the most amazing sunsets you will ever see are those that dip into the sound waters of the Outer Banks. If you want the show of a lifetime, grab a kayak and set out on a sunset trip for a front row seat of one of these spectacular fall sunset displays.
Marshy Adventures
Take advantage of the cooler weather of fall and therefore less annoying bugs to hinder you from exploring the many marshy avenues of the Outer Banks by kayak. These estuarine ecosystems are teeming with wildlife and calm, winding pathways make for an exciting, albeit refreshing outdoor adventure fit for all ages. Check out the marshes of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, for example, for beautiful opportunities to absorb all that the marshes of the wild and wonderful Outer Banks have to offer!
Discover Historical Landmarks
One of the most unique aspects of the Outer Banks is the deep rooted history that lurks behind every bend. It’s not in every beach destination that you can find as many famous, historical landmarks of great importance as you can on the OBX! Rent an individual kayak or double up with a friend and set out on an educational experience that is sure to delight all of your senses. Observe the Wright Brother’s Memorial from Kitty Hawk Bay and multiple other lighthouses, including the Bodie Island Lighthouse, from the waterways of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
