North Carolina is full of beauty, needless to say; the beautiful oceanfront abyss leads the way to the fascinating wildlife that you may see when traveling through the Outer Banks region. While you’re sure not to see lions or tigers, you might capture a glimpse of a dolphin jumping from the gorgeous waters of the Atlantic or a bird flying high in the sunny sky. When staying at one of the best Kill Devil Hills Hotels, the Sea Ranch Resort, you’ll have a fabulous Outer Banks condo to cozy up after venturing out and enjoying a day discovering the wildlife of North Carolina. Here are three spots to see some amazing animals!
A Day at the Gardens
As spring and summer are here, visiting the Elizabethan Gardens is a must! Perfect for all ages, not only will you be able to see flora and fauna, but you might catch a glimpse of the butterfly fluttering. You will also want to keep an eye out for bumblebees and honey bees. These insects are vital for our ecosystem by helping fertilize our plants and flowers.
At the Beach
When planning your beach trip, you’re sure to see some cute critters in the water. There are quite a few animals to spot on the beach. Grab a snorkel and enjoy the waters of the Atlantic while spotting some crabs on the beach, colorful fish swimming, and maybe even a jellyfish. Watch out for the flags at the beach to tell you if it’s safe to swim, sometimes Jellyfish migrate in warmer waters, and you won’t want to be stung by one! Plus, don’t forget to keep your eyes on the horizon to spot some dolphins playing and jumping around in wakes. To ensure you see some dolphins book a charter tour with Nags Head Dolphin Watch Tours!
Majestic OBX
There are a few state parks to visit in the Outer Banks that offer everything from hiking and biking to bird watching and spotting animals along the trails. If you want to see something unique to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, take a day trip to see the wild horses at Corolla. Book a fun trip with Wild Horse Adventure Tours to ensure you spot some wild mustangs. Originally brought over by the Colonial Spanish around the 1500s, today the descendants of those horses roam free, and you can only access them by ATV! Once you’re done spending the day on the north end of the OBX, head back to one of the best Kill Devil Hill hotels, the Sea Ranch Resort, for dinner at the Beachside Bistro.
With so much to do here at the Sea Ranch Resort, you’ll be in for a fabulous time along North Carolina’s Oceanfront. Whether you get out and enjoy spotting the wildlife or you relax at one of the top Kill Devil Hills hotels, your trip is sure to be a summer vacation to remember! And don’t forget we’re one of the leading pet-friendly hotels Outer Banks NC has to offer, so give us a call, and make sure your furry best friend can relax with the family too!
