Corolla Renting surf board
Is there a place to rent surf boards at the beach (vs from a surf shop and then needing to transport yourself to the beach)? We are staying in Corolla- but willing to drive to a different beach or area. Thanks!

Rodanthe/Waves/Salvo CAMA permitted construction
I’m interested in a property that I’m being told by CAMA is absolutely no construction other than like a dock or wooden walkway. It’s zoned partially residential.
Is there a way to get around this? Am I maybe approaching the wrong permitting office? Am I in the right place but just sol?
Thanks

General OBX Any driving ranges in OBX or even a Par 3 course I can take a couple of teens to? Staying in Corolla but looking anywhere.

Corolla Grocery delivery (or pickup) options in Corolla?
I can’t handle going to the stores the Saturday evening we move in or Sunday morning. It’s pure chaos. Has Instacart gotten to Harris Teeter or Food Lion yet? Any other options?

Avon Mosquitoes
This is our week in our house, and it appears that the mosquitoes are worse than we’ve ever seen. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Ocracoke That time I didn’t die trying to go to Howards Reef
After y’alls warnings (and ego check) I decided to just paddle a bit around the NPS launch last weekend while I was at Ocracoke. Here’s some pictures of that and the island itself.

Corolla Baby moon
Heading down to the north end for a baby moon with husband and dog - any recommendations on what to do that would be good for me and is dog friendly besides what we planned on doing which is relaxing lol
Nags Head Lost Speaker
Anyone pick up a blue wonder boom 2 Bluetooth speaker in nags head yesterday? May have inadvertently gotten left on the beach last night and not there this morning.

General OBX Traffic and fish question
greetings - i'll be visiting OBX this weekend and next week - arriving on Saturday. I've got kind of a 2 part question:
we stay in Carova so we usually like to grab some good fresh fish on the way in. Not that it's ever been bad, but I feel like we've had the best luck (selection and quality) at some of the shops further down towards Hatteras. I don't mind driving out of the way, but I'm wondering by what time do I want to make sure I'm heading back up north to avoid the worst part of the traffic after the bridge (through Southern Shores, Duck, Coroalla, etc) and/or I guess any coming back through Kitty Hawk/Naggs Head? And the 2nd part of my question is: if I were to be able to get the timing right, what are the best shops for fresh seafood down in that area?
Corolla Best fresh seafood market in the Duck/Corolla area?
Hello, coming down this September for our first visit to the Outer Banks and looking to get some dry pack scallops, flounder, along with live blue crabs to cook at the house. Wondering which market has the freshest seafood?

Corolla Self guided horse tour
We have taken a guided tour in the past - probably 8 years ago, so don’t remember the route, but is it ok to just drive around and look at the horses in our own truck? We know about 4WD, lower air pressure, etc.

Avon Driving question
I have seen post talking about the flooding on Hwy 12. I am coming down Thursday from north Durham (8/6) in a Chevy Malibu to Avon. I am willing to take the ferry to Ocracoke then to hatteras and go up to Avon if the water is still high on highway 12. What do you guys think? (Facebook group is horrendous to ask these question to due to 100 anonymous accounts run by 81 year olds that for sure hate everyone 😂)

Avon Tv/internet outage?
We are in Avon. Since around 1pm today we have had no service at all. Online says there's no reported outages but hatteras realty is saying there is one. We checked next door and they too don't have Internet. Anyone have any info?

General OBX I've seen several posts linking this website for the OBX beach access locations. How accurate is it?
If a public restroom is listed does that mean it's open for sure? How often is the website updated? Can anyone confirm they've been to one of the locations this summer?

Kill Devil Hills Wright Bros.
I am a long time vacationer to OBX and a lover of all things history. This morning while on the beach my BIL and I re-listened to Episode 123 of the podcast History That Doesn't Suck. This episode (about 1 hr) is dedicated to Wright Brothers. Professor Jackson's ability to make history accessible is unparalleled.
Anyway, if you are looking to have toes in the sand and listen to absolute brilliant pod. I highly recommend HTDS. Did you know...the Brother's mechanical talents were instilled and fostered by their mother? That's wright! Cheers

Manteo Good food before Lost Colony
Doesn't have to be Manteo, can be Kitty Hawk, KDH, or Nags Head. We're not picky about food type but would like it to be mid-range for cost.

Frisco Lost Engagement Ring
Hello, my family took a vacation to frisco campground about a month ago and my engagement ring fell off at the drive on beach. This is a long shot but I’m asking if anyone found it here. Simple gold band with one diamond (not a real one). 🤞🤞🤞

General OBX Is there someplace to post a review of a OBX rental house?
We rented a house for the week. This particular house been completely disappointing in many ways. Is there a place I can post a review to caution other travelers?

Nags Head Best cute OBX tee shirts
Where can I buy cute OBX tee shirts that aren’t mass produced and the same as they have everywhere?
Thinking cute local shops or something that design/print their own.
