Good morning. It's was perfect morning in Avon. We open at 6 am daily. Stop in this week for a hot coffee and fresh baked cinnamon roll to start your day.

Come out to Bonzer Shack this Saturday night for an evening of intimate acoustic rock classics with James Ansell! 🎶🎸

James is taking over the Bonzer Shack with a curated "walk through the decades," stripping down the anthems you know by heart from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. From the warm singer-songwriter vibes of the 1970s to the high-energy anthems of the 80s and the grit of the 90s... No tracks, no gimmicks—just a guitar, a voice, and the songs that laid the soundtrack to our lives.

We're just a little over 2 weeks away from rehearsals starting at the Waterside Theatre for the 89th Anniversary Season of The Lost Colony! We're excited to introduce you to two more of the amazing artists that will be performing on Roanoke Island all summer long.

𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 (𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞) is thrilled to be making her 
The Lost Colony debut with this wonderful cast! She is a rising junior pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre at the Hartt School in CT, though part of her hartt will always remain home in Colorado. She’d like to thank her family and friends, and she hopes you enjoy the show!

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐡 𝐉. 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 (𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬/𝐄𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞) is thrilled to be back at The Lost Colony for a third season! He wants to thank his parents for all his support and his friends for keeping him going. Enjoy the show!

🌟 32nd Season and Voted Best of OBX and Best of the Beach 🌟

Guaranteed to see 🐬 or your next trip FREE!!

This week has been rough due to biting flies and a west wind driving the horses out of more secluded areas and onto the beach. This unfortunately draws quite a crowd, especially near the southern barrier fence. We’ve been struggling to keep horses and people safe the last few days, and meeting quite a lot of resistance from folks who are walking onto the 4x4 beach from Corolla.

You must stay at least 50ft away from the horses at all times, but it also goes against the ordinance to “subject to conditions detrimental to its health or general welfare any wild horse within a wild horse sanctuary.” Crowding, pressuring, and following horses on the beach in these conditions is detrimental to their health and welfare, regardless of how far away from them you are.

If our staff asks you to move away and give the horses more space, they are doing so not just to keep the horses safe, but to keep you safe too. Walking amongst these horses with no way to protect yourself is incredibly dangerous. The horses are already irritated due to the flies, they are extremely protective of their foals, and it’s breeding season. You have no way to know that there isn’t a rival stallion just on the other side of the dunes, and in a split second you could end up in the middle of a fight with nowhere to go.

Becoming belligerent and cursing at our staff on top of pestering the living snot out of these horses is a surefire way to get the cops called on you. We won’t tolerate it and neither will the sheriff’s department. Citations have been issued.

We know that the majority of people who read our posts and follow us on social media aren’t the ones out there behaving like this, but this is the best way for us to get the word out. Please share if you are a member of any relevant OBX groups, tell your friends and family who may be coming to visit, and please immediately call 252-453-3633 to report infractions and dangerous behavior.

Little follow up from the last few days…

Had a really good run of fishing — steady blackfin tuna action and some great groups onboard. Saturday was more of the same, with another crew that knew how to have a good time.

Maybe a little too good of a time.

Between leader shots, a quick trip for stitches, and then a bet involving a white marlin hook and an ear… it’s been an interesting stretch to say the least 😅

Wind’s got us tied to the dock the last couple days, but that’s probably not the worst thing.

Everyone’s good, stories are already getting better, and we’ll be back at it as soon as it lays down.
