Things to Do on the OBX for October 20th 2024

Good morning, OBX explorers! 🌞

Today is October 20, 2024, and we’re looking at a beautiful day in Manteo with mostly sunny skies and a high near 67°F. Winds will be from the north at 10-13 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, keeping things breezy and pleasant for outdoor activities. Tonight, expect clear skies with a low around 57°F, perfect for evening beach strolls or a cozy night in​. A High Surf Advisory and Coastal Flood Advisory are in effect until noon today, so be cautious near the water.

The ocean temperature is still warm enough to enjoy water activities, and with only 11 days left until Halloween, it's the perfect time to make the most of the season.

The Outer Banks is renowned for its family-friendly appeal. Whether you're comparing destinations like the Outer Banks vs. Jersey Shore, or looking for ways to entertain the kids on a rainy day with top rainy-day kids' activities, the OBX has endless options. Families can also enjoy a range of water activities for a thrilling day out, followed by a stop at one of the best ice cream spots to cool off and indulge in some sweet treats.

Enjoy your day in the Outer Banks and soak up all the family fun! 🌊
