OBX Things To-Do: August 24, 2024

Good morning, OBX friends! 🌞 

It’s Saturday, August 24, 2024, and the Outer Banks is serving up another gorgeous day to enjoy all that this coastal paradise has to offer. The National Weather Service predicts mostly sunny skies in Manteo, with a high of 85°F and a gentle breeze—perfect for a day at the beach or exploring the local sights.

And as if the sunshine wasn’t sweet enough, today happens to be National Peach Pie Day! 🍑🥧 Whether you’re a fan of homemade or prefer to pick up a slice from a local bakery, today is the day to indulge in this summer classic. It’s like a slice of summer wrapped up in pastry.

Enjoy the day, and let the sweetness of summer linger just a little bit longer!
