Still trying to finalize your Easter plans? Make the holiday a memorable one with a beachside vacation! Check in on Good Friday and you can maximize a long weekend or a long holiday week on the Carolina coast.
After settling in at your home away from home, stroll to the beach to take in our awe-inspiring sunsets. With our south facing beaches, Oak Island sunrises are pretty incredible too (when you're not sleeping in).
On Saturday, take a drive just over the bridge for Southport Springfest. "This beloved festival offers something for everyone," according to the City of Southport, "featuring musical entertainment, handmade arts and crafts, children’s activities and even plants for sale! ... Springfest will also highlight a vibrant marketplace showcasing local artisans, craft vendors, small businesses and retailers. It’s the perfect opportunity to shop, explore and connect with our community’s talented creators and entrepreneurs."
For early risers hoping to attend an Easter sunrise service in the area, visitors and locals alike are welcome to gather at Fort Caswell or the Ocean Crest Pier early Sunday morning. Continue the fun with your littlest travelers after they've emptied their Easter baskets with a family egg hunt (search for rentals with fenced backyards to find a great base for egg hunts of every skill level).
While the kids are busy outside, the cooks of the family can whip up a traditional meal (all rentals offer fully-equipped kitchens), or go the semi-homemade route and put a coastal twist on Easter with a low country boil pot from Outer Banks Boil Company.
For groups that can spend the whole week on the island, we recommend slowing it WAY down after a busy holiday weekend. Our beaches and rental homes offer the opportunity to do just that, while connecting with those you love the most. Experience renewal and the magic of spring on Oak Island by booking today!
