Enjoy Spring Temperatures in the Summer at Beech Mountain

While most travelers associate Beech Mountain with outdoor activities, such as skiing, hiking and biking, visitors traveling to the charming town of Beech Mountain can also expect to find gourmet restaurants, one-of-a-kind local "hot spots" and cozy mountain accommodations and lots to do while taking in the wonderful mountain scenery. And with temperatures soaring in the Southeast, visitors to Beech can enjoy spring like weather with temperatures rarely rising above 72 degrees.

During the summer, Beech Mountain visitors can party at 5,065 feet at the Beech Mountain Street Dances, a southern tradition held four times a year at Town Hall.

"We cover the parking lot with sand for all of the dancers and locals, and visitors tailgate while enjoying the cool summer temperatures and musical entertainment," said Peggy Coscia, of the Beech Mountain Chamber of Commerce. The Street Dances bring the mountain to life with music from the 1940s on. The dances are free, open to the public and coffee and cookies are served. They are scheduled for July 18, August 18 and September 1 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Beech Mountain also offers visitors a variety of accommodations, ranging from mountain chalets, cabins, private homes, condos, country inns and lodges.

Beech Mountain, the highest town in the eastern United States at 5,506 feet, is nestled in the northwestern North Carolina Mountains, only two hours from Charlotte and Asheville. Known for its unique beauty and winter sport activities, Beech is a year-round tourist destination offering visitors a variety of outdoor adventures.
