May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.

Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
