Sometimes you just need to get away! Emerald Isle, NC is the perfect place to escape to every now and again, even when it isn’t summer and your beach trip isn’t planned far in advance. We all need more spontaneous long weekends at the beach, right? Here’s how to plan a last minute getaway to Emerald Isle beach whenever you can get away from it all, if only for a little while. A beach trip is always a good idea!

1. Be flexible with your Emerald Isle beach vacation dates.

When you’re planning a last minute getaway, you likely have a few dates in mind. You might have an open weekend with no commitments or a few vacation days left in the year that you’d like to use. If you can be flexible with your vacation dates, you’ll have more opportunities when it comes to finding accommodations that stay within your budget. A last minute vacation doesn’t mean you have to pay more than you should or settle for something less than you want. Have a window of time in mind, but be prepared to modify your vacation dates if you can find a better deal or a vacation rental you love that might require you to tweak your travel plans.
