When is the best time of year to go on a vacation at Rodanthe?
The most popular time to book a Rodanthe vacation is the summer. This is when visitors flock to the area. Summer on the Outer Banks of North Carolina has the warmest months of the year and contains the most sunshine. With this comes the days that are mostly filled with other visitors. Spring and fall on the Outer Banks, while cooler, do provide for some great beach days. In addition, during these seasons, the roads, stores, and restaurants are the least crowded. The price of rentals is a little lower and there is more availability. You will find some festivals on the Outer Banks during the spring and fall as well.

During the winter months, the weather (and the water) is cooler and there are fewer people in town. Also, many businesses close during the winter to give their teams time for some rest. However, the winter provides peace and tranquility to support full relaxation on the uncrowded, gorgeous beaches with soft sand and there are still sunshine-filled days for a great getaway. Being further south, this area is prone to being in the path of hurricanes. Just listen to the weather forecasts and make sure you are prepared.
