It may have been a while since you truly felt thankful at Thanksgiving, but this year that will change, as you have planned a Thanksgiving to the Outer Banks. Offering an extra dose of serenity as well as a wonderful list of holiday activities to keep you busy, Thanksgiving will keep giving when you choose our Lighthouse View holiday havens for your accommodations. This guide to spending your next Thanksgiving on Cape Hatteras will give you your thankfulness back as it paints a picture of an idyllic beach holiday.
Morning Walks, Nighttime Strolls
Obviously, you aren’t going to be swimming or surf on OBX Thanksgiving day, but you can never underestimate the power of the sea’s magic. And whether you wake up early on the big day, taking a few moments to prep the turkey and pop it in the oven, or if you wait until the day’s festivities are over when the kitchen is clean and the noise levels have dropped considerably, a walk along the sandy shores will make you thankful all over again. It’s impossible to worry about the timing of your dishes when the sound of the surf is front and center, and there is no way you will hold onto the frustration of having cranky Aunt Ethel tell you your turkey is too dry when the sand is tickling your toes and the moon has bathed the landscape in its cool glow.
Let Someone Else Cook the Turkey
Our fully equipped kitchens and spacious dining areas will make easy work of creating a turkey feast, but what if you are staying in our rooms that only offer kitchenettes? There is no way you can microwave a whole turkey, but that’s ok. Many restaurants on Cape Hatteras are open for Thanksgiving, cooking, serving, and clearing away the meal, so all you have to do is eat your favorite food and savor the service! Our favorite restaurant open for the holiday is the Froggy Dog Restaurant & Pub, located at 40050 NC Highway 12. Open from 11 AM until 7 PM and offering a full menu of Thanksgiving faves, reservations are recommended.
Relax, Overeat, and Watch All the Football This OBX Thanksgiving
It is important that you take this day to relax, to overeat, to watch all the football, and of course, to nap on the couch with your pants unbuttoned, because when you wake up the next day, it is Christmas season and the chaos begins!
