Whether you're a local or a visitor, there's always something magical happening on the OBX. So grab your coffee, feel the sand between your toes, and let's explore what today has in store!

Today’s Outer Banks Weather

Today's forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 56°F (13°C) and a low of 44°F (7°C)1. The sun will grace us with its presence at 7:19 am, setting at 7:05 pm, giving us a generous 11 hours and 46 minutes of daylight2. For our water lovers, the sea temperature is a brisk 51.4°F (10.8°C)3. While it might be a tad chilly for swimming, it's perfect for a refreshing beach walk or some shore fishing!

Celebrating Our Working Moms

Today is National Working Moms Day, and we're tipping our sun hats to all the incredible mothers who juggle careers, family life, and vacation planning like pros.

Your hard work and dedication don't go unnoticed. So, working moms, take a moment to relax on the beach today. You've earned it!

Scallop Sensation: National Baked Scallops Day

It's National Baked Scallops Day, and what better place to celebrate than the Outer Banks8? Our local waters provide some of the most delectable scallops you'll ever taste. T

ry them baked with a crispy Parmesan crust, or pan-seared with a lemon butter sauce. For a true OBX experience, grill them and serve with a side of local corn. The sweet, tender meat of these ocean jewels pairs perfectly with our coastal breezes and stunning sunsets.

Head to one of our fantastic seafood restaurants today for a scallop feast you won't forget!
