The Elopement Adventure

Marriage is often described as one of life’s greatest adventures. Why not start yours with an Outer Banks Elopement adventure, full of excitement, love and beauty? Elopements are traditionally defined as a couple running off together to be married in secret and offer an opportunity for both exciting adventures and romance without the pressure of planning a large event. Whether you are considering an elopement for the excitement of sharing this new beginning with only each other, or are on the shy side and would prefer to say “I Do” in a private setting, the Outer Banks is the perfect location to elope!  In addition to being called home by many talented wedding vendors that will bring your elopement vision to life, the OBX offers ample opportunities for adventurous couples after the vows.

Begin your new and exciting journey with your loved one by saying “I do” at the seashore. The oceanfront Sea Ranch Resort offers coordination and everything you need for your elopement so you can relax while we do the rest!

Watersports

One of the first sports that may come to mind when you think of the beach is surfing! Many local surf shops offer surfing lessons and rental equipment so you can experience the true local exercise experience. If surfing isn’t for you or your partner, consider trying out a SUP – stand up paddleboard or kayak! Paddleboarding and kayaking are two wonderful opportunities to explore the the Outer Banks via either the ocean or the sound. If you choose to explore the sound, consider doing so at sunset for a romantic, beautiful and calming experience for you and your newlywed.

The lighthouses are spread all over the the OBX, you can find one to visit near where you’re staying or take part of a day to visit them all!

If hang gliding doesn’t spark enough of a thrill, you might want to try out skydiving out of Manteo at OBX Skydiving.
