A local icon. Get the Dolphin boat, it's what they're known for (burgers aren't bad either, but you're here for the vibe, the experience & the beach). If they have fried okra and that's yo' thing, give it a try! Many people love it, I'm not one of them LOL. Skip the milkshakes and get those from us! We don't love the amount of styrofoam used here.

BREAKFAST

With the exception of Duck Donuts, these are also locally owned & operated establishments. Most of the places we share in our guidebooks are, with the exception of only a few. Several of these places also serve lunch & dinner, so make sure to view their full menu. Henry’s is closest spot for a diner style breakfast.

For such a small town we really do have a lot of excellent restaurant options here, with many chef-owned establishments. Some of these are super low-key spots, don't discount them or judge a book by it's cover (or curb appeal)!

Must visit!! (Take a water!) It’s a longer walk than you think to get to the top, but don’t give up!! The view is well worth the effort. During the Summer months the sunset view will be enjoyed with hundreds of other people, so get there early to make sure you’re at the top for sunset! PRO TIP: The walk is shorter if you park across the street (At or near Kitty Hawk Kites), crossing at the crosswalk and hiking straight up. If you park at the state park entrance, the walk is much longer!

SUNSETS

A sunset you'll never forget! The view is unbeatable from the top, but if you're feeling sluggish, keep driving to just south of the Dune- take a right on Soundside Drive. At the end on the right, there's a small parking area on the sound where you can dip your toes in the water and take in the sunset (But AGAIN- the view is worth it from the top!)

Go any time during the rest of the year & you'll have it mainly to yourself (though many of the shops will likely be closed)

BARS/Watering Holes

Places to grab a libation or two. But don’t mess with drinking & driving in our area- DUI’s are heavily (let me repeat HEAVILY) enforced! Call Lady Jane or grab an Uber!!
Actually, Lucky’s has decent food & pizza too (they serve pizza until 2am). Huge beer selection on tap.

Good food and drinks. Nightly shows and music during Summer months (sometimes year-round, check their Instagram) and a nice outdoor area with games, etc.

Filed this locally owned spot under “bars” as it’s one of the few places open til 2am. They also have a great variety of nightly music [nearly] year round. It’s a brewery, bar & restaurant & they’re leading the way with their “green” initiatives. Good food, a few vegetarian & vegan options.

Outdoor bar. Can get pretty packed upstairs at happy hour & beyond. Decent food, good happy hour specials. It's kind of the "Happy Hour" crowd.

Another Local hot spot in walking distance. AKA “beer pier”. There’s a bar (and soon to be, a 2nd bar upstairs on the deck) There’s an arcade inside. A hangout for surfers, fishermen and old salts. If the surf is big or there’s a hurricane coming, this is where the action happens and everyone will be!
