Family Events

The Big Nights

Four nights, four traditions in the making. Mark them now — everything else on the calendar bends around these.

Aug10

🌍 Around the World (World Cup Edition)

All Houses · 7–11 pm

A progressive party down the street — each house serves an appetizer and a cocktail from its country. Passport not required, pacing strongly advised.

Aug11

⛳ The OBX Open

DePalma House · 7–11 pm

The tournament nobody trains for and everybody talks about for a year. Hosted at the DePalma house — bring your A-game and a thick skin. Trophy ceremony to follow.

Aug12

🔥 Fire on the Beach

The Beach Out Front · After Sunset

Bonfire night. S'mores, beach chairs in a circle, and the stories that only get better every summer. Bring a sweatshirt and something to toast.

Aug13

🦃 Banksgiving

Lewis House · 7–11 pm

Thanksgiving, but with sandy feet. The Lewis crew hosts and the turkeys are on them — every guest brings a side. Claim yours before someone else takes mac & cheese.

🍽️ Sign Up for a Side

Where to Eat

The Dinner Debate, Settled

Nags Head classics, all a short drive from the houses. MP = milepost on the beach road / bypass — the Outer Banks' way of giving directions.

🍳

Sam & Omie's

MP 16.5 · Whalebone Junction

Feeding fishermen and beach families since 1937. The classic OBX breakfast — get there early, order the she-crab soup later in the day.

BreakfastOBX institution

🌮

Tortugas' Lie

MP 11 · Beach Road

Surf-shack classic just up the beach road — coconut shrimp, fish tacos, and steamed everything. Small room, big vibe; go at off-hours.

Lunch & dinnerClose to home

🍤

Blue Moon Beach Grill

MP 13 · Surfside Plaza

Funky, friendly, and consistently one of Nags Head's favorites — shrimp & grits, big salads, and a menu that keeps everyone happy.

DinnerLocal favorite

🦀

Basnight's Lone Cedar Café

Nags Head–Manteo Causeway

Waterfront dining with local-caught seafood — the "nice dinner out" pick for the week. Watch the sunset over the sound while you wait.

Fresh catchWaterfront

🌅

Miller's Waterfront

MP 16 · Soundfront

Casual seafood downstairs, deck bar upstairs, and a front-row seat to the best sunsets in Nags Head. Good with a big, loud group.

Sunset viewsFamily friendly

🎸

Fish Heads Bar & Grill

South Nags Head · On the pier

A tiki bar sitting right on the Outer Banks Fishing Pier — live music, cold drinks, and fish sandwiches with waves underneath you.

On the waterLive music

🍖

Pigman's Bar-B-Que

MP 9.5 · Kill Devil Hills

Eastern North Carolina 'cue for the night the crew needs a break from seafood. Feeds an army — takeout works great for 34 people.

BBQFeeds a crowd

🍩

Duck Donuts

Kill Devil Hills

Warm, made-to-order donuts — the OBX-born chain at its source. Somebody does the morning donut run; the kids will make sure of it.

Things to Do

Beyond the Beach Chair

The beach out front will carry most of the week. When the crew gets restless, here's the greatest-hits list — from five minutes away to a full-day adventure.

🏖️

The Beach Out Front

Steps from the houses

The main event. Beach access is a short walk from all four doors — chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and 34 people's worth of snacks.

Every dayFree

🪁

Jockey's Ridge State Park

MP 12 · 5 min away

The tallest living sand dune on the East Coast. Fly kites, take a hang-gliding lesson with Kitty Hawk Kites, and stay for the sunset — it's the best one on the beach.

Sunset ritualAll ages

🎣

Jennette's Pier

MP 16.5 · Whalebone Junction

A concrete pier stretching 1,000 feet into the Atlantic — rent rods, watch the anglers, and check out the aquarium exhibits inside.

FishingCheap thrill

✈️

Wright Brothers Memorial

MP 7.5 · Kill Devil Hills

Stand where flight began. Walk the actual first-flight path, climb the monument hill, and let the kids earn Junior Ranger badges.

HistoryHalf day

🗼

Bodie Island Lighthouse

10 min south

The striped 1872 beauty just past Whalebone Junction. Climb to the top for views from the ocean to the sound, then walk the marsh boardwalk.

Climb itPhoto op

🐢

NC Aquarium

Roanoke Island · ~25 min

Otters, stingray touch tanks, and sea turtles in Manteo. The designated rainy-day hero — pair it with lunch on the Manteo waterfront.

Rainy dayLittle kids

⛳

Mini Golf & Go-Karts

Up & down the bypass

Dinosaurs, pirate ships, waterfalls — the bypass is lined with putt-putt courses and go-kart tracks. Losers buy ice cream. House rules.

EveningsTournament-worthy

🐎

Corolla Wild Horses

Day trip · ~1 hr north

Wild Spanish mustangs roaming the 4x4 beaches of Corolla. Book a guided tour truck and make a full day of it up the northern beaches.
