Food Scene

This is our favorite breakfast and lunch place! Completely locally owned, counter service with super friendly staff. Second closest restaurant to the apartment, kind of a secret/local spot. You walk directly across the street from the ACC driveway into the KOA gravel parking lot. Go through the gate into the pool area, walk right around the pool to the ramp which leads to the large main office building of KOA. The restaurant is right there when you open the doors at the top of the ramp facing the pool. Our favorites is the fried chicken sandwich or Tri village wrap! Less expensive than ACC and everywhere else in town. Equal price to Big Waves Market.

Nice counter Service restaurant right beside the apartment! More expensive then Shelia's but offers a larger menu and more seafood items. Our favorite is the Spicy Tuna Burger. It is a huge tuna steak coated in a perfectly spicy seasoning, add with tartar sauce it is perfect. We're not very good with spicy food, we usually order food mild or medium but we still love it!

This is our favorite nice restaurant in town (within 5 miles) for dinner. Great Asian American food and seafood specials. They have the best Lo mein $13 I have ever had, the sesame chicken and the cajun seered tuna with seaweed salad is great as well. The nightly seafood special are more but are delicious.

Super tasty acai bowls, banana based vegan ice cream, smoothies and toasts!! Okay we might be a bit partial as it is Reider's wife Gage who owns and runs Hatteras Bowls. But that shouldn't take anything away from how delicious the food is. Acai bowls are basically thick smoothie bowls with cut fruit, granola and dry toppings (walnuts, chia seeds, coconut flakes). It's about .3 miles south of the sail shop, and share the space with our Surf Shop. Personal favorites: Green base ( standard base with ginger, spiralina and kale) with chocolate chips, pinnaple, natural PB, honey, granola. Double Overhead smoothie: Natural PB, coffee, banana, cocoa Sweet Nectar Smoothie! Avacado toast.

Parks & Nature

This is a cool little visitor center for the National Wildlife refuge and has a pretty small trail accompanying it. It is also right across the street from the beach like most everywhere on the island! On your way to or from Nags Head/KDH area or off the Island in general a nice stop off.

Sightseeing

A legendary spot that is hard to pass up. The largest brick lighthouse in the world that was underwent a huge relocation engineering feat after being moved from right beside the ocean, pretty much right behind the sand dunes, to where it is today. It costs $8 a person to hike up to the top, the view is pretty incredible!
