At the Christmas Parade, you can gaze at elaborate, festively decorated floats as they pass by. You can also enjoy sing-alongs, hot cider, warm cookies, a Christmas Tree Lighting, and visits with Santa.
Cast a Line
During the fall months, the beaches don’t have as many beachgoers compared to the summer. This makes it a prime time for fishing. Plus, redfish can be found year-round in shallow waters. These fish are flourishing in Fort Macon State Park during the cooler months. You can also embark on a fishing charter on the open ocean and catch impressive creatures.
