Memorial Day- Thank you to those who serve defending our freedom and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us. There are not enough words or accurate words to express our gratitude. 🇺🇸 We’ve been blessed with another great week of fishing out of Ocracoke! Girls’ day yesterday aboard the Free Ranger with Macy and Jennifer having a great day catching 2 blue marlin and two white marlin….go girls! Earlier this week we had great gaffer mahi fishing and released a sailfish. The gaffer fishing has been on point with boxes full and one of our anglers even weighing a 38 pound citation, congrats! We have June 6, 27,28,29 available next month and other days later in the summer. Give us a call and let’s go fishing!

At Rusty's, we occasionally elevate our steak program with super premium cuts, and today, we’re thrilled to offer a 16oz Prime-grade ribeye! This isn’t your everyday steak. With exceptional marbling and rich, bold flavor, it’s best enjoyed medium to medium-rare. If you’re a filet mignon or New York strip fan, this cut might surprise you with its intense beefiness and luxurious texture.
This Prime ribeye is a rare treat, crafted for true steak enthusiasts. We’re keeping it simple to let the quality shine—seasoned with just sea salt and black pepper, served alongside creamy mashed potatoes and fresh garlic green beans.
Available now for those who appreciate the finer things. Come savor the difference at Rusty's SurfandTurf!

This evening we are also offering crispy brussel sprouts with candied pork belly, beef empanadas and for entrees jumbo lump crab cake and scallop combo, filet mignon as well as swordfish as additions to our regular menu.

When the original locals cross your path, they always get the right of way.

Tour guide extraordinaire, Tom, captured this moment on a recent tour when a harem with the youngin' in tow decided the middle of the road was the perfect spot for grazing. (Needless to say, Tom backed his tour up, safely maneuvered a k-turn away from the horses and went another direction.)

--One of the most appealing detours we've experienced in a while. 😉

A classic OBX combo: Lighthouses & Jeeps 🚙

Fun surprise running into the owner of @Calypso’s Dream in OBX Beach - Nags Head out at Bodie Island on their Jeep Girls Weekend! We love it when our homeowners are out enjoying the OBX just like our guests do. 🌊

🏴‍☠️ Thinking of bringing your Jeep to the beach? The OBX Jeep Invasion is happening this September—but you don’t have to wait ‘til then. You can drive on the beach year-round at select access points in Corolla/Carova to the north and Hatteras to the south.

✅ Look up current ramp accesses—only certain ones are open year-round
✅ Don’t forget your beach driving permit
✅ Air down your tires + 4WD is critical

🏠 SNH081-Calypso's Dream has ONE prime week left | This Oceanfront gem is available July 12-19 🔗https://bit.ly/436H5uF or if you are simply looking for a 3+ night stay our prime week short stay rentals are also a great option! 🔗 https://bit.ly/3SSAtcN

As a part of the nonprofit’s 50th anniversary, Dare Arts is elevating its long-standing events, and that focus was evident as over 1,500 children and adults gathered at Dowdy Park on May 10 for the 36th Annual Artrageous Kids Art Festival presented by PNC Bank. 

In between an outstanding production by Atlantic Dance and Saakumu Dance Troupe’s second performance, Dare Arts Board Member Lisa Brickhouse Davis announced that First Flight High School Senior Mary Williams was selected as the 2025 Artrageous Youth Scholarship recipient.

A huge thank you to the students, parents, and teachers from Outer Banks Montessori Collective and Wilbur Gardens for helping bring the new beach toy library to life at our Bonnett Street public access. We’re excited to have this resource available for kids (and parents, since it means lugging fewer things to the beach) to enjoy. It’s a great way to share, play, and give beach toys a second life. We love seeing our community come together like this—thank you!

As far as a beach day goes, it looks like a washout - literally. But every day is good for something. If you’re vacationing on Hatteras Island, it’s a good day for a little shopping between the rain bands, for reading books and visiting with family, and low-key activities like puzzles and crafts. Come see us for craft supplies, craft kits, puzzles and more.
