This article will discuss Things To Do In Outer Banks NC For Valentines Day.

Watch a Beach Sunset Together 

I’m sure I don’t need to explain why sunrises and sunsets are so romantic. So taking your partner to watch either will just brighten her mood, more than any box of chocolate would! Watching the sun reflect off the water is something everyone needs to experience. But the OBX is full of beaches, so which one do you go to? Let me tell you about my two favorite spots.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America. It has been on guard for almost 150 years. It guides ships through the choppy, shallow waters of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic". You can take stunning sunrise and sunset pictures here. The black and white striped monster works well as your background. Another amazing spot for pictures is from the top. For the lofty, 360-degree perspective, you must hike more than 250 steps. It sounds like a lot, I know, but even if your legs complain, your eyes will appreciate the effort. Pick up your date and head on over to 46379 Lighthouse Rd, Buxton, NC!

Jockey’s Ridge

One enjoyable activity you can do with your significant other is to climb Jockey's Ridge! Running up the dunes and having fun will undoubtedly release your inner child. Watch a beautiful sunset after spending the entire day exploring Jockey's Ridge. The top of Jockey's Ridge is also the finest location to see both the sound and the ocean at once. Especially if the weather is good at night!

Go Horseback Riding On The Beach

Look no further than horseback riding trips with Virginia Beach & Outer Banks Horseback. They provide the best horseback riding adventure in the Outer Banks. Your steadfast steed strolls down the smooth sands of the shore. Oh and not forgetting, the sound of the ocean's lapping waves serenades you. This is an adventure you won't soon forget. Take your Valentine for a leisurely ride down the shore. Enjoy nature's most exquisite splendor! Or gain a thrill from a memorable canter down the beach! Everyone should experience this amazing activity at least once. Head on over to 12 & Bodie Island Lighthouse Road!

After getting accepted to ECU, I started looking for things to do in and around Greenville, NC. However, my searches kept taking me to places in South Carolina! There must be things to do around ECU, so I started asking other students. They kept telling me to graduate and move away! This inspired me to begin exploring eastern North Carolina and build this website as a showcase of the places to go, sights to see, and things to do all over eastern NC. I have fallen in love with this region and started taking up roots here. After graduating, I didn't move away - I bought a house here and continue to explore eastern North Carolina.
