My First Trip to the OBX!

Posted July 10, 2009 by drozga

I visited the Outer Banks for the first time in May 2008, and booked a condo with Sun Realty.  We stayed in Kill Devil Hills, in a cute little condo just across the street from the beach.  Sun made it easy to check in late, and stay for a short trip with their flexible "Freestyle" vacation option. 

When we return, we will definitely look for a home in Corolla, on the 4 wheel drive beaches if possible, or Duck.  Those areas are beautiful and unique!  We dined at many great places during our short stay, including:

Rundown Cafe - AMAZING french fries!  We tried a soft shell crab as a group at the table, not our personal favorite, but give it a try!

Owen's - a great option for fine dining.  I recommend their scallops, and they have great service.

Pigman's BBQ - Hailing from Colorado, I have never had the NC style of BBQ, but it is awesome!  Get a side order of the hushpuppies, yum!

We visited the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, toured the 4x4 beaches (no horse sightings, but lucky you if you see them!), Jockey's Ridge Park (hot hot sand, don't wear sandals), and toured Hatteras Island by car.   And of course, the beaches are beautiful and provide endless entertainment.

We can't wait to get back again, and see even more sights and check out more great local restaurants.  We have included some of our snapshots as well.
