Great local small restaurant located down Colington Rd. Food is always fresh and delicious. with great daily specials. We like siting on the front screened in porch as long as it isn't too hot or cold. Otherwise head inside. Since the place is small, reservations are encouraged.

Probably our favorite of the classic older restaurants in Nags Head, Tale of The Whale is a sound front restaurant with great views of the Roanoke sound and delicious seafood. Highly recommended. If you are trying to save a few dollars they usually run an "early bird" special with a discount for those seated by a certain time. Please call them to confirm that offer and time.

Neighborhoods
This where you are! Technically the hideaway is in North Kill Devil Hills (the best part lol) and close to just about everything. You are roughly equal distance to Corolla/Corova as to locations on Hatteras island. So as a base of exploration, Kill Devil Hills is the best area of the Outer Banks. The really great thing about this neighborhood in particular is the easy access to beaches and to the miles of bike path along Bay drive.

If you are picking one lighthouse to visit, this is definitely the most iconic. Tallest lighthouse on the east coast and adjacent to Cape Hatteras seashore. If you have a 4 X 4 vehicle, you can take the ramp onto the beach here and drive out to Cape Point, a spectacular spit of land that juts out into the ocean. Truly a breathtaking place to spend the day or a few hours.

Very cool lighthouse that you can pay to climb. Gives you a really good bird's eye view of north Corolla. Adjacent to the lighthouse is the Whalehead Club, a former hunting lodge that has grounds you can walk around or picnic on. There is also a wildlife museum on site.

Pea Island is just the northern most part of Hatteras island. Immediately after crossing the Basnight Bridge to Hatteras you will be in the Pea island area. There is no development here but there are great beaches that are seldom used even in summer. Go here if you need some solitude and want to enjoy the beach in complete peace. You can park anywhere along the highway. Simply pull all the way off the road, lock your car and head across the dune to the beach. Caution: Be careful parking in deep sand. If you have a 4 X 4 vehicle you will be fine, but if your vehicle is 2 wheel drive, make sure not to completely pull off the pavement. Always keep a couple of wheels on the pavement so your car has the traction to get out of the sand. Be careful about this. Extraction services are expensive!

Easy drive to the tallest sanddune on the East Coast. My recommendation, go before sunset (evening) and watch the sunset from the top. It will much cooler at that time of day and the views and colors are spectacular. Be prepared for a mild workout climbing the dune.

Really fun excursion to do if you want to experience a couple relaxing hours on the sound. You will learn a little about the Outer Banks, see Andy Griffith's estate from the water and hopefully experience a beautiful sunset from the sailboat. This is not a strenuous activity so older guests can enjoy as easily as younger ones. This would be a good way to end the day of sightseeing on Roanoke island.
