Food Scene

This is the best restaurant on the Island in our opinion. Everything is great but especially we suggest the wings, the cheesesteak eggrolls, anything on the special board and the hot apple dessert.

Not for the kids.......but fabulous food and drinks for the adults. More upscale and dressier. Sits right across from the ocean and has live music. Great Martinis!

It's the best pizza on the island (owners from New York) and it's a 2 minute drive. They deliver but it takes forever so I recommend driving to pick up. Garlic knots are also yummy.

The food is solid, a bit touristy but also local favorite. We love the bar pies, they are fabulous. Great view for some drinks.

Entertainment

If you want to go fishing or just want a beautiful walk out into the Atlantic, go to Jennette's Pier. It was re-built a few years back and it is a gorgeous pier.

If you want to get away from the big waves on the ocean, try Jockey's Ridge state park and float in the sound. There is a parking lot and it isn't a huge area, but we always enjoy a day over there. You can walk in the water for a mile and it will only go up to your knees. Great for little ones. Our favorite thing to do is stop and get chicken wings, some string and a bucket and go crabbing over there. That is all you need and it's a hoot how those crabs go after that chicken. We usually throw them back but sometimes we get some big ones and bring them home and cook 'em up.

It is the largest sand dune on the East Coast and really it's something to see and climb. But if you are there in the heat of the summer, go either really early in the morning or at dusk because it is REALLY HOT!

Everything Else

About 45 minutes south is a great retail shop, connected to a great restaurant (Waterman's Grill) and some of the best (free) kite boarding shows you can see. The Outer Banks is known as being one of the best spots in the world for Kite boarding. If you head down to Real and walk to the back you can watch some world class kite boarders doing their thing, and it is amazing to watch. There is also live music Friday and Saturday nights.

Sightseeing

This is where the wild horses roam and the beach is beautiful. You have to drive on the beach in Corova, there are no roads, so bring your 4 wheel drive or rent a jeep when you get there. If you have a day to burn this is a really fun thing to do. Bring a cooler and spend the day on the beach after you drive through Corova. If you get really lucky the horses will come down to romp in the surf.
