Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Explore North Carolina’s Beach Towns

You may think North Carolina beach towns are just for summertime, but think again! Fall is one of the best times to visit the North Carolina coast, offering mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower rates than the busy summer season. Escape to the beach with Carolina Stays Vacation Rentals and find the perfect lodging in the Wilmington and Topsail Island Areas. Explore 300 miles of pristine coastline and enjoy the perfect weather for outdoor activities like fishing, bird watching, hiking, and surfing. Visit our beach towns during the off-season and plan your fall retreat today!

Mild Temperatures

Beat summer's heat and enjoy the coast's mild fall weather. During this time, temperatures range from mid-70s to lower 80s during the day and in the 60s at night. This weather provides the perfect conditions for outdoor exploration. Plus, the water temperature remains around 70 degrees so that you can play at the beach well into the fall season!

Fewer Crowds and Lower Rates

Fall is the beginning of the off-season on the coast, meaning you can expect fewer people and lower rates. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the season and explore the area’s beaches and top attractions without the crowds. You can also expect lower rates on our accommodations in the fall.

Outdoor Activities for Every Interest

Fall is the perfect time for nature lovers to explore the great outdoors. Cast your line for exceptional fishing, birdwatch during the fall migration, hike through coastal trails, paddle our waterways, practice your golf skills, and surf the Atlantic.

Seasonal Events

Fall is a prime time to attend events along the North Carolina coast. Attend the largest festival in the state, The North Carolina Seafood Festival, for three days of local seafood and celebrations. In the Cape Fear region, you can attend the Wilmington Riverfest, the North Carolina Oyster Festival, or the Cape Fear Kite Festival. In the Topsail Area, you can attend the Autumn with Topsail Festival. Celebrate fall at the beach with these annual events!
