Surf's Up -- A few small COBIA "rats" swimming around but nothing decked yet. There's a decent swell rolling in. Cloudy skies and spitting rain at times. There's a moderate offshore breeze from the SW at 11 knots. Low tide 6:31 a.m. and 6:51 p.m. High tide 12:33 p.m.

Throw back to this awesome shot shared by tour guide extraordinaire, Cheryl "Shorty" Short -- when May 2025 brought us warmer days and sweet surprises.

Beach Week Reminder 😎

We’re thrilled to welcome groups of all kinds to the Outer Banks—whether you’re celebrating the end of senior year, reconnecting with family, or just soaking up the sun. ☀️🏖️

🚨 But just a reminder 🚨 When you book a home with Outer Banks Blue, you're also agreeing to a few important guidelines—like how many guests are allowed and what kind of activities are safe and respectful in a rental home.

Recently, we had a situation where things didn’t line up with the agreement—and we acted quickly to make things right! Here's what one of our longtime homeowners had to say:

“𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦, 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘖𝘉𝘟 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘩 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘸.
