WHAT DO YOU GIVE YOUR DOGS TO CHEW ON? - Posted By: NCSU Dad on 3/27/2023
They are sisters and will be 5 years old in October. They have Nylabones that reappear every now and then from when the were puppy's. Chews you buy at they grocery are devoured in less than 10 minutes. KONGS with treats inside are ignored. Belle on the left loves to eat sticks and chunks of mulch. Holly rarely chews sticks. She is the hunter and will spend hours in pursuit of any thing that ... [Read Full Post]

ELECTRIC BOATS - Posted By: J4yDubs on 3/27/2023
Ok, so I know this might be a controversial topic for some, but I'm going to post it anyway. Regardless of the "saving the earth" claims, there are some very real benefits to electrical. If you still choose to take the topic sideways, that's on you and that's OK. Just don't be surprised if it gets deleted. I've never thought twice about about electric boats. I've had small Jon boats, very f... [Read Full Post]

PU - SMOKE IS IN THE AIR - Posted By: Tim-OBX on 3/27/2023
Wonder where the ash and smoke smells are coming from?

COLINGTON PIZZA IS FOR SALE - Posted By: NCSU Dad on 3/26/2023
An opportunity for someone wanting to make OBX their home. My understanding is the building & business was built by a father & son and sadly the son has passed away.

A VERY TOUCHING SONG ABOUT THE BEACH - Posted By: Beach Farmer on 3/26/2023
I have posted this song before but I never knew the English translation of this beautiful Gaelic song about walking on the beach of an Island with those closest to your heart. Somehow I knew it had something to do with my life ...and maybe yours. If you are like me and prone to melancholy but manage to smile through it and keep going you might like this one. Link to the song below ‘Faoiseamh ... [Read Full Post]

SALTBOX CAFE, THE - A Must-Go Place
We discovered TSBC five - six years ago and made sure we had reservations before we would come down on vacation. Now that we live here (less than 4 minutes from TSBC), we go a least once a month and sometimes twice. Between my wife and I, I think we've kind of tried everything on the menu although they are constantly changing/modifying/tweaking their recipes. We've never even had an 'OK' meal...

BLUE MOON BEACH GRILL - Back to the Blue Moon
My Better Half and I stopped for lunch on a windy, overcast day. The remodeling they've done since we were last there (created a "waiting bar", added a game room, and outdoor dining) were welcome I recall the large crowds inside and outside while waiting for a table before). Even though it was at lunch, there was a small wait... we saw that as a good thing. Sat at the bar in the main area and had... [Read Full Review]

MAKO MIKES, INC. - Mediocre At Best
We recently ate here for the first time and we won't be back. The service was excellent, so I kinda feel sorry for the servers. We both got shrimp that was utterly tasteless and kind of mushy. Frozen shrimp can be done better. Fries were OK, iced tea was godawful.

DAJIO - Very nice restaurant
I had a fish sandwich and my wife had Pesto Pasta, couldn't have been better. The staff was great also. We'll be back for sure

COASTAL CANTINA - Get the Mahi
I had the Mahi Tacos and they were great. Sort of like a small grilled filet in each one. Spicey mayo like sauce was killer. Outside dinning is a plus

There are many excellent Outer Banks webcams from Corolla to Hatteras Island. You can see the beaches, the ocean and even several fishing piers and lighthouse web cams.

HILTON HEAD BEACH & TENNIS - BEACH
Nice webcam view of the beach and pool deck from the Hilton Head Beach & Tennis Resort on the north end of HHI. It may take a few seconds to load, but it is worth the wait for the clear view of the beach and ocean. This webcam is a great way to see the beach on Hilton Head Island when you can't be there in person.
