Richmonders' love for the Outer Banks of North Carolina is no secret. In fact, some even refer to OBX as Richmond East.
When it comes to hitting the beach for a vacation, those of us in the River City love to head three and a half hours south-east to the Outer Banks. In fact, enough of us have been doing it often enough that it seems like you can't get away to OBX without running in to at least one other Richmonder.
So it's no wonder we've found plenty of things to love about OBX.
Brew Thru
What vacation would be complete without a drive-thru beer store?
Playing the Odds
Calculate the probability a tropical storm will run us off early has become a tradition for late-summer vacationers.
Wild horses right there on the beach for everyone to enjoy? It's awesome!
Need wine and cheese at the beach? Well really, who doesn't? But this little shop in Corolla, NC is a fabulous place to pick up your favorites, or even a few indulgences to sample while on vacation.
Kelly's
So maybe this Nags Head spot is better when you're a little younger, but dinner, live music and dancing all in one location – fabulous.
Duck Donuts
I have dreams about these donuts, they’re that good. Fried and crispy on the premises.
Tortuga’s Lie
Great little Caribbean diner in Nags Head with license plates on the wall and great shellfish.
Seafood Restaurants
Crabs as they come out of the steamer are the best.
This Corolla place does the cooking for you – all you have to do it call it in, pick it up and enjoy back at the house.
Proximity
In less than four hours we can be transported from our own sweltering city to the cool, sandy comfort of OBX. Who wouldn't love that?
