Warm breezes, glassy waters, and golden sunsets—late summer on North Carolina’s Inner Banks is too good to let slip away. Nestled along the shores of the Albemarle Sound, Occano is the perfect home base for soaking up the last, best days of the season. From golf to boating to exploring historic towns, there’s still time to create unforgettable coastal memories.

Here are 10 things to do before summer fades into fall:

1. Tee Off on an Arnold Palmer Signature Course

Challenge yourself on Occano’s nationally ranked course, where every fairway opens to sweeping coastal views. It’s golf at its most inspiring.

2. Stay & Play in Style

Book a villa and enjoy resort-style comfort—steps away from golf, the Sound, and miles of unspoiled natural beauty.

3. Take to the Water on the Albemarle Sound

Launch from Occano’s day dock or nearby marinas and cruise across one of the largest freshwater sounds in the country. Hidden coves and wide horizons await.

4. Reel in a Late-Summer Catch

The Sound offers both freshwater and saltwater species—perfect for anglers chasing that end-of-season trophy fish.

5. Paddle Salmon Creek

Grab a kayak or paddleboard and glide through calm waters alive with herons, ospreys, and secret coves.

6. Watch the Sun Melt into the Water

Pack a picnic, stretch out on the shore, and take in the kaleidoscope of colors as the sun dips behind the horizon.

7. Step Back in Time in Edenton

Just 20 minutes away, Edenton charms with historic homes, boutique shops, and waterfront dining. It’s a perfect blend of history and coastal small-town charm.

8. Taste the Coast

From shrimp fresh off the boat to oysters harvested nearby, enjoy the catch of the day at local restaurants—or grill it back at your villa for the full coastal experience.

9. Wander or Ride Through Nature Trails

Explore trails that wind through forests and along the shoreline, perfect for birdwatching, biking, or simply soaking in the Inner Banks’ natural beauty.

10. Imagine Making It Home

After a weekend of golf, water adventures, and sunset views, you might find yourself wondering—why not make this lifestyle yours year-round? Take a tour of Occano’s homesites and discover the possibilities.
