Things to Do on the OBX for September 28th 2024

Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌞 For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on September 28, 2024, Manteo is basking in beautiful sunshine with a high near 83°F. Winds are calm, becoming southerly around 6 mph in the afternoon. Tonight, skies will be mostly clear with lows around 71°F, making for a comfortable evening to explore the coast. Keep in mind that a Beach Hazards Statement is in effect today, so be cautious if you plan to head into the water.

The ocean water temperature is a pleasant 78°F, ideal for a refreshing swim or just dipping your toes in the surf. Looking ahead, there are 243 days left until Memorial Day Weekend 2025—plenty of time to plan your next big Outer Banks adventure!

As you’re enjoying the OBX, consider grabbing a bite at one of the best burger spots, or if you’re beach-bound, check out our recommendations for the best umbrella canopies for a windy day.

For foodies, make time to explore the best taco restaurants, and if you’re bringing your furry friend for the first time, don’t miss this guide on bringing your dog to the Outer Banks. Looking for a romantic outing? Check out these couple-friendly things to do in the OBX.
