Outer Banks Posts

Ever since we released the new Summer 2025 bar menus last week, we keep getting asked the same question: “What the hell is a Flounder Pounder?” Why FLOUNDER? Well this beer is essentially a tip of the proverbial hat to those hard-working commercial & recreational fisherman of the Outer Banks who desire a refreshing beer at the end of a long day on the water. Why POUNDER? Because this delicious, sessionable light beer is perfect for pounding on the beach or on the boat…or pretty much wherever you are.

Worth the Wait — Every Time! Whether you’re starting your day with our famous southern breakfast or winding down with a comforting dinner, there’s a reason folks line up at The Dunes. Great food, warm hospitality, and that classic OBX tradition — it’s all here. So grab a coffee, catch up with family, and settle in… because a table at The Dunes is always worth the wait.

It's shaping up to be another perfect day to join us on the pier at Fish Heads!

This rental home just joined our program on 1/3/25.

This Kill Devil Hills Rental Home caters to outdoor enthusiasts, providing built-in swings on exterior decking, hammock, cornhole, grill, beach chairs and other beach items, and more! As for a rainy day on the Outer Banks, "The Turtle Shell Cottage" has you covered, providing an entire game room filled with fun amenities like foosball, dart board, and more! With other comforting amenities like WiFi, Keurig coffee maker, and laundry room, you'll be set for an uninterrupted OBX Vacation!

📍 Explore one of the Outer Banks’ most iconic natural landmarks—Jockey’s Ridge
🪂 Whether you’re hiking, hang gliding, or catching a sunset, it’s a must-see while you’re in town.
🌬️ It’s home to the tallest natural sand dunes on the East Coast—and they’re always shifting thanks to coastal winds.
🌅 You’ll get panoramic views of both the ocean and the sound, making it one of the best sunset spots in OBX.
🏖️ There are also soundside trails, shallow water access, and plenty of space for kite flying, sandboarding, and exploring with the kids.
