When to Visit

North Carolina's diverse landscape lends itself to year-round visiting, but each season has its distinct charm. The state lights up with vibrant foliage in the autumn, particularly attractive for scenic drives and mild outdoor activities. Spring, with the wildflowers in bloom and wildlife in motion, is ideal for hiking, white-water rafting or simply appreciating the state's natural beauty.

Summer heats up the coast from June to August, making it the best time for those wishing to lounge on the beaches or indulge in water sports. Beware of the peak tourist crowds though. Winter isn't a bustling season for tourism but offers a snowy spectacle in the mountains, making it perfect for skiing and snowboarding.
