Visit the Outer Banks in OCTOBER! 🎃🌊🐚

October is considered the "secret season" on the Outer Banks, offering perfect weather with daytime highs in the 70s, low humidity and warm ocean temperatures. You can avoid the summer crowds, take advantage of significantly lower vacation rental rates and enjoy prime conditions for surfing, surf fishing and birdwatching.

Also… there are so many things to do! Book a stay in the Town of Manteo during any of the five weekends in October to discover Halloween Island, a month-long, town-wide charity bar crawl through over a dozen uniquely-themed pop-up Halloween bars, with proceeds benefiting the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, and redeem your completed Halloween Island passport for an exclusive reward!

Also during October, you can attend the Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival, get a local taste of the ocean at the Outer Banks Seafood Festival or watch kegs fly at OBX Brewtag.

45 seasons later, and our favorite view is still seeing your families gather around these tables. 🌊❤️
Some memories become traditions, and some traditions become part of the Dunes family.
Meet Emersyn, a very special young lady who has been making her own Dunes memories for the past three years. Her mom, Amy, has been coming to the beach her whole life, with sweet memories of her early vacations in South Nags Head, staying at Jerry and Pat Cahoon’s Cottage Court and getting groceries at Cahoon’s Store.
Three years ago, when Emersyn was just 5 years old, Rufus became an important part of her Dunes story when he served her what she says were the best hotcakes she had ever had! 🥞❤️
And now, every year, Emersyn comes back for her very own Dunes hotcake taste test — and, of course, to get her annual picture with Rufus! 📸🥞
We absolutely love watching these memories grow from one generation to the next. And Emersyn, you are just as sweet as those hotcakes! 🥰
From the very first breakfast Roxie and Rufus served 45 seasons ago to the Southern favorites we’re bringing to your dinner table tonight, thank you for letting The Dunes be part of your Outer Banks memories.
Here’s to the families, the traditions, the familiar faces, and all the memories still to come. 🌊☀️
Drop a comment and tell us your favorite Dunes memory from over the years! 👇❤️

August 18th, 2026 marks the 439th birthday of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World to colonist Eleanor Dare. 👶✨ Join us August 18th and 19th, 2026 as we celebrate Virginia Dare Nights!

The Lost Colony continues its long-celebrated tradition of using real babies during these performances. Being a “Virginia Dare Baby” is a coveted role in the community that many local citizens have had the opportunity of being a part of. For Virginia Dare Nights only, the prop baby swaddled in blankets, is replaced with these special guests. Virginia Dare Nights are generously sponsored by First National Bank.

Buy your tickets for one of these memorable nights!
