If I were starting over on the OBX, here’s exactly where I’d land in each era of life. 👇

Every town out here has its own personality, and the “right” one usually comes down to the era you’re in:

🚶 Walk everywhere → Duck
🎯 Middle of everything → Kill Devil Hills
🌅 Best of both worlds → Kitty Hawk
🌳 Quiet street → Southern Shores
🏝️ Escape the crowds → Hatteras (Tri-Villages, Avon, Buxton, Frisco)
🍽️ Foodie → Nags Head
⛵ Waterfront → Colington Harbour
😎 Vacation mode → Corolla
🏛️ Historic charm → Manteo

So which era are you in right now? Drop your town, or the one you’re scheming on, in the comments. 👇

Save this for when you’re ready, and tag the friend who’s been “thinking about moving here” for three summers straight.

Skip the tie. This is how you actually do Father’s Day on the OBX. 🍺🎣

A full day mapped out, from the first cup of coffee to the last hole at gold hour:

🥞 Breakfast at Sam & Omie’s before the fishing crowd beats you to it
🍺 A pint and live music at Outer Banks Brewing Station
🍔 Jack Brown’s for the burger and a beer list that won’t quit
🚙 Air down the tires and ride the 4x4 beach in Carova
🌊 Jet skis or a sunset sail with Nor’Banks in Duck
🎣 A half-day charter out of Oregon Inlet
⛳ A round at Nags Head Golf Links with the sound on every hole

Save this so you’ve got the whole plan, and tag the dad (or whoever’s planning his day) who needs to see it. 👇

officially making OBX summer my entire personality for the next three months and i regret nothing. ☀️

slow mornings on the sand, sunset walks with nowhere to be, the dog living his best boat life, firepits that go till the stars come out. this is the version of summer i wait all year for.

touching grass will not fix this. 🌊

salt air ✔️
warm water ✔️
nowhere to be ✔️

that’s the whole cure.

I will not be apologizing for any of these. 🙂‍↔️

If you’ve lived on the OBX long enough you develop strong feelings — about which stretch of beach is actually worth the drive, which towns are overrated, which ones are criminally slept on, and why October is simply a different category than summer.

These are mine and I’m standing by every single one.
