The beach is the place to be this weekend. There are events celebrating wine and seafood on both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

The Outer Banks in North Carolina are playing host to the Outer Banks Taste of the Beach festival.

Spend three nights and days on The Outer Banks, tasting some of the finest coastal cuisine, drinking some of the best wine and micro brewed beer all while having the time of your life.
Some planned events will include: Brew Tours, Music Crawls, Wine Tastings, Cooking Classes, Tapas Crawls, Dine Arounds, and Dessert Dive-ins - just to name a few.

Oysters are the main event in Fulton, Texas at the 29th Annual Fulton Oysterfest. The festival offers live music, a parade, an Oyster Shucking Contest and Raw Oyster Eating Contests.

Head on over to the Gulf Coast for the Southern Breeze Wine and Culinary Festival in Biloxi, Mississippi.
