Living here at the beach certainly has it’s perks, especially when it comes to choosing fantastic restaurants, bars and ‘local’ spots to bring relatives and friends who visit year round. There are some “hot spots” that focus primarily on tourists and are only open during ‘the season’ which usually begins in April and ends in September for many businesses.

Then, there are those places that remain open year-round, because the owners and employees all live here at the beach too.  We “locals” enjoy supporting these establishments and we are proud to recommend some of our absolute favorites.

These posts are unsolicited by the restaurants themselves.  These are honest recommendations and reviews from folks who live and work here on the Outer Banks.

Note:  If you don’t see the restaurant on the list, or there are no positive comments…there is probably a good reason for that.
