NY/NJ guy going for a week of beach in the Outer Banks. Where do we shop for cigars? Liquor? Food? Is a trip to Kitty Hawk worth it? Places to hear some good music?


You're in the ideal place. Everything you need is on Rt. 12.

Head north - Food Lion shopping center has lots of shops.

Tim Buck II - also north of you, ditto.

Near Pine Island are a few shops on the sound side of Rt 12, Liquor store, Carry-out, You'll have to look for cigars. There is also a really cool mom and pop freash sea food store - excellent.

Kitty Hawk? I enjoyed it but most of the family group I was with were bored.

IMHO, everything you need and want is available on the North Beaches. We seldom venture south of 158. On the other hand if you like the Myrtle Beach style vaction experience, head south.

Have a great time!

Been here for a week--weather's been great. Had some of the best meals ever--ate at the Pelican whatever restaurant towards Nag's head and the Sunset Grill in Duck. Both great, but Pelican better. Terrific beaches.

When I get back home and people ask me how the OBX were, I'll tell 'em it's sorta like the Hamptons, only with nicer people.
