Travel and Accommodations in Outer Banks

The Outer Banks are a tourist attraction, so traveling to the islands on Saturdays - particularly summer Saturdays - can mean a lengthy trip. To avoid travel hassles, consider planning your Outer Banks wedding during off-peak months, dodging summer when the OBX is busiest. Alternately, wed on a Friday, or arrive several days before the event so there's ample time for travel. If you must travel during the busiest days, consider taking an alternate route to your wedding venue in Outer Banks to save time.

Accommodations in the OBX are as unique as you and your sweetheart. There are campgrounds and cottages ideal for outdoorsy types, or sophisticated hotels and luxurious vacation rentals for those who want to room in style. You can choose oceanfront lodging or a quiet space hidden from the hustle and bustle of the town - there's something for everyone in the Outer Banks.

Depending on where you stay and the season, accommodations can cost anywhere from less than $100 a night to nearly $500 a night. If you're looking to save money, choose a place to stay that's off the beaten path and book your wedding in the off-season.
