...one of the few true Surfer bars on the OBX. The Fish tacos are nuts.

They always have live surf competitions on at the bar. Most of the guys who work here surf and know all the local watermen.

The best on the OBX by a mile in my opinion. Their coco loco chicken is exceptional as well.

Agree on the Fish Tacos, although Rundown's ones were great also.

Tortugas' Lie is all our all-time favorite! Great food and staff.

They opened in 1991 or so. When my wife and I got engaged in Va in 1992, we took a weekend trip to Nags Head to talk wedding plans and have some fun. Ate at TL one night and decided then and there to get married at the beach, which we did. When we were thinking about buying a place at the beach in 2011, we went to TL and made the decision to buy. In 2017, we were thinking about whether to build a new house or renovate our beach box. You guessed it, made the decision to build while at TL. We like to say all our important life decisions are made at Tortugas.

Those are the tame ones (BF was exercising decorum in his post/pic view). One of racier ones was mine ;) (until the DMV got wise).

Those were PRETTY bad, OB! Cannot imagine the others. And the DMV actually let these fly....well, it's the DMV. Nuff said.
