Happy Anniversary to our amazing sister restaurant, Red Sky Casual Dining & Cocktails!
You’ve been lighting up the OBX dining scene for 23 YEARS—and making us just the tiniest bit jealous every time a guest says “we also love Red Sky”.
Here’s to more great food, laughter, and sibling rivalry over who makes the better soft-shell crab cake. (We know the truth. 😉)

23 Years of Flavor, Family & Fire!
THANK YOU to our loyal locals, curious tourists, and every foodie who’s ever sat at our tables.ind Red Sky Casual Dining & Cocktails.
What started as Red Sky Café 23 years ago has become a Duck landmark — a space filled with bold dishes, killer cocktails, sun-soaked brunches, late-night laughs, wedding toasts, and way too many “just one more bite” moments to count.
To our loyal locals, curious tourists, and every foodie who’s ever sat at our tables — THANK YOU.
Thank you for 23 years of support, smiles, and stories. You made this journey unforgettable. ❤️
Here’s to the next chapter — new flavors, fresh vibes, and the same Red Sky magic. With Love,
The Red Sky team.

"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." Anthony Bourdain

"If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move." also Anthony Bourdain

Trio took it's first group (the OG's) on a sojourn to Tulum, Mexico for some amazing food, drink and inspiration. We ate fancy and we ate simple….and it was all so memorable. The fresh juice mezcals and margs were everything.

We sailed, learned about the Mayan culture and checked out some ruins...we went deep into the jungle to see spider monkeys...and maybe zip line a bit, with a final swim in a cenote. Of course, Mrs. Sharon lead the way, all the way!

We hope to continue these trips with our staff and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

It's not always fun and games for the staff at Wildhorse Adventure Tours. Okay, it's always fun.. but there's also learning that goes along with the fun. A quick peek inside our training and meeting day recently held, where new and veteran team members gathered to learn, discuss, and share information and knowledge. We were quite lucky to have Corolla Wild Horse Fund join for a portion of the meeting to offer insight on the herd, its changes, and best practices for touring and visiting the 4x4 area. And.. it ended with cookies, so it's a win for everyone. 😉

BIG thanks to Corolla Wild Horse Fund and Meg Puckett, Director of Herd Management, for joining us yesterday during our company-wide team meeting. Meg spoke to the growth and changes taking place with the banker horses, as well as best practices for touring and visiting the 4x4 area. We are continually grateful for the endless work they do to champion the wild horses.

Waves are excellent for riding again today. As for fishing, BLUEFISH, SPANISH MACKEREL and SHEEPSHEAD! Conditions are nice too; ocean water temp 65 degrees and there's a gentle breeze from the SW winds at 8 knots. High tides 6:10 a.m. and 6:31 p.m. Low tide12:10 p.m.

🎣 Wide-open beaches, iconic piers, and that laid-back, no-fuss feeling—South Nags Head is Outer Banks simplicity at its best.

🌊 Spend your days casting a line from Jennette’s Pier or the Outer Banks Fishing Pier, grabbing a bite at Sam & Omie's or enjoying ocean views with a cold drink at Fish Heads Bar & Grill!
