Heading there in the morning... will be there 3 or 4 days... anything the wife and I should check out, or good restaurants we should eat at.... thanks

I like mako mikes.

There is all kinds of things to do on the Outer Banks. I always enjoy my time out there. I don't eat out on the Outer Banks.

Sam and Omie's in Nags Head

https://wildhorsetour.com/ and there are other feral horse tours out of Corolla

you will drive up the beach bout 20 mins then go into the town of Carova Beach just south of the Va line

once you pay for the first tour, then, if you have a 4x4, you should go back on your own a day or 2 later and normally see different horses.
1 of our lighthouses is up there too
Jeanette's Pier is a good place to hang for a few hours, too

The "Lost Colony" drama near Manteo is good. If in season.

that was the LONGEST "two weeks" of my life!

don't do it, Man...don't do it!

The wife wants to go to it

The aquarium is nice. The Lost Colony is a must see. Roanoke Island park. Eat lunch at Poor Richards sandwich shop on the waterfront in manteo. Wright brothers memorial. Jockeysridge. Cape hatteras lighthouse, Bodie Island lighthouse, corolla lighthouse. If the weather is forecasted to be nice you could call pirates cove, obx marina and Oregon Inlet Fishing center and see if either of them have a makeup charter with room. We like Sam and Omies and Basnights Landing for supper. I’ll be there in a month for our annual yellowfin trip.

do what you gotta do, but...I WARNED ya!

and...bring a thermo-Cell or lot's of repellant...skeeters, they got.

I second the thermocell for the lost colony.

There was some restaurant there where I had my first soft shell crab. Couldn't believe what I had been missing all these years. Now my favorite seafood!!!

We were there last summer and liked Sam and Omies and Jeanette’s Pier.

I saw the "Lost Colony" a long time ago and just remember being very bored, being eaten alive by mosquitoes and the word "CROATOAN" being carved on a tree.

so mad, just got to the holiday inn in nags head, wife booked it through booking.com. Go to check in and hotel says where not on the check in list... they have us checking in April 1-5, and u guessed it there booked up.. so now I’m sitting here waiting for some chick at booking.com, to find me a hotel.... not a happy camper

I’ve had similar experiences with online third party bookings. The money saved was not worth the hassle.

VRBO shows 86 listings for Nags Head if your looking. Cheapest was around 105/night.

This time of the year you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a hotel. Once may rolls around it get real tough finding a last minute room.

never again
Found a comfert in, 200 more dollars the stay but we got a room... it was 400 more but comfert in cut us a deal... 5 star on there part... booking.com said they would reemburse us the difference, time will tell... thanks for the help you guys

ENJOY!
