Making Outer Banks Beach Memories


This Monday is an absolutely gorgeous beach day here on the Outer Banks, and we want to dedicated this week’s Memory Monday to the place that creates a majority of the memories on the OBX – The Beach!

This week’s submission comes to us from Kim Merickel of Cardon, Ohio who stayed with Outer Banks Blue in the “Beachcomber” property in Corolla in June. Kim’s pictures of her family enjoying the OBX beach are of her daughter Krystel , KIim’s Son in law Tim McCaskey, Kim’s husband Mark, and most importantly their very special girl Dani Taraba who is four years old and loves the beach. Dani has downs syndrome, but she obviously is enjoying her time at the beach more than most children ever would. What a great memory to share with all of us!

Thanks Kim for sharing your wonderful memories!

All the best from the beach!

Summer Weddings @ Outer Banks Blue


Boy, something is in the air this summer on the OBX! This week’s Memory Monday is our second wedding photo of the summer, and we can’t think of a better place to start a new life together than the Outer Banks! This photo is submitted by Renee McQuillen of Protage, Pennsylvania who says “I wanted to share my most memorable moment of OBX 2010!”

She and her husband have been vacationing on the Outer Banks and particularly in Corolla for years, but we here at Everything Outer Banks think this might just be their most memorable stay! Best wishes Renee on your marriage.

All the best from the beach!

This week’s Memory Monday Photo Contest submission comes to us from Karen Klinefelter of Fuquay Varina, North Carolina who presents us this cutie at the beach. This young lady is Karen’s granddaughter who was enjoying the Outer Banks for the first time when she and her family vacationed at Outer Banks Blue’s the property in Duck “The Whole Enchilada.”

Karen and her crew are veterans of the Outer Banks and it looks like they now have a new generation of beach goers. As Karen tells us “She loved it, and we all love the house we stayed in. Thanks and hope to see you next year!”

All the best from the beach!

Beautiful Ocean Views of Outer Banks Blue


This week’s Memory Monday Photo contest submission comes to us from Penny Ojala, of Crystal River, Florida who stayed with us in 2009 in Nags Head.

The resolution on this week’s photos is just great as you can see the detail of droplets of water flying off of the kayak and swimmer. Great pics!

Among the folks in these pictures include Penny’s Daughter Michi Kayaking in the surf, her Granddaughter Evie on the beach, and her grandson Duncan having a great wipeout on a boogie board in the surf. Penny tells us among their favorite things to do on the beach is “relaxing on the beach, go to see the wild horses, travelling to Ocracoke, eating at Awful Arthur’s and spending time together with family watching sunrises and sunsets! What’s not to love about the OBX?!!”

We agree Penny. Thanks for your submission, good luck on yours being drawn from the hat for the monthly contest winner, and we look forward to serving you again soon at Outer Banks Blue Realty Services!

All the best from the beach!
