When is the best time to go to Colington Harbour?

The best time to visit Colington Harbour is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. In late spring, the temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and exploring the local beaches without the intense summer heat. The water is inviting for swimming, and the area is generally less busy than during the peak summer months, offering a more relaxed experience. Early autumn also provides excellent conditions. The summer crowds have thinned out, but the ocean water remains warm enough for swimming, usually around 22°C. Daytime temperatures are mild, often between 20°C and 26°C, great for enjoying the natural beauty of the Outer Banks, including birdwatching and cycling.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Colington Harbour hotel for you.

Top Colington Harbour Hotel Reviews

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

8/10 Good

"We have been staying at the John Yancy for years, we love this place. Its not fancy but the location is amazing. We always stay in the Sea building and its the best"

The Sanderling

8/10 Good

"The Sanderling is a nice resort. It sits on the beach and has a great view of the sun rise in the mornings. The staff is very friendly. They will happily setup chairs and umbrellas on the beach for you. The resort is a bit dated. The fencing around the property is aged. The room was very nice and clean. There are a lot of dead bugs and spiders everywhere. The balcony sliding door has dead bugs in the slider which could use a clean up. We did not use the amenities like the pool, hot tub, or gym. There are two close by restaurants next door and across the street. The drinks at the outdoor bar were a bit outrageous. One virgin pina colada and one margarita was $40 with tip. Overall a nice resort but a bit overpriced in my opinion."
