Simply put – this place is a hole in the wall. Crab Benedict from Sam and Omie’s in Nags Head, NC. Ice Cream Cones and Sundaes from Scammell’s Corner Surf Shop and Ice Cream Parlor – Our favorite place to ride our bikes to after dinner when we stay in Nags Head, NC! Make sure you stop by when the singing ice cream scooper is there – he takes song requests too!Ħ.

Classic meets sweet at this fun restaurant! Make sure you take a walk around the building and look at the massive collection of Coca-Cola branded merchandise while you’re there.ĥ. Root Beer Float and Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, both from Big Al’s Soda Fountain and Grill in Manteo, NC. The first picture below is so blurry due to the steam coming off of the pastry fogging up my camera lens!ģ and 4. Apple Ugly from Orange Blossom Bakery in Buxton, NC – Served piping hot and one is plenty to share between two people! Expect to wait in line for these sweet treats. (Locations in the Outer Banks include Duck, Corolla, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills.)Ģ. Here are the 9 foods that we highly recommend you try during a trip to OBX!ġ. Last summer we set out to round up as many of these delicious foods as we could in our one week in Nags Head, NC.

Yes, there are so many incredible meals and treats, from fresh caught seafood to delectable sweets for dessert. Oh… there is also plenty to EAT in the Outer Banks (OBX for short). The beaches are not nearly as crowded as we have come to expect at the close-by Jersey Shore and there is plenty to see and do for young and old. It is a wonderful land where sun meets surf meets sand. The reasons then continue from memories of wonderful trips with my own family over the last few years. The reasons begin with happy memories from my childhood when my parents would take us almost annually for a week in Rodanthe, NC. There are many reasons that I would pick this chain of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina as my favorite beach destination. If you ask me to choose my utmost idyllic, perfectly perfect beach vacation spot, I’m pretty much guaranteed to say the Outer Banks, NC.
