Easter weekend serves as the unofficial kickoff to the season, with family-friendly events like egg hunts at Elizabethan Gardens and kite festivals at Jockey’s Ridge State Park. Restaurants and shops are fully open by mid-April, offering fresh seafood and unique local finds without the summer crowds. Plus, pre-season rental rates mean you can enjoy all this at a fraction of peak-season costs.
