Don’t be intimidated by Art’s Place’s slogan, “Locals Welcomed, Tourists Tolerated...sometimes.” Art’s Place is as laid back and friendly as it gets. It’s true this restaurant and bar is one that OBX locals have loved since it opened here in 1979, but tourists also will find it charming 

Art’s Place is popular as a breakfast spot and as a greasy spoon for lunch and dinner. It’s a diner and bar, featuring great food and live music.

Music takes the stage at Art’s Place several nights a week and on holidays. Monday Jazz Nights are particularly popular. The full-service bar offers happy hour specials and friendly service. Art’s Places location just next to the beach on the Beach Road makes it a perfect spot to take a break from the heat. 

Lunch and dinner at Art’s Place will treat you to some of the best burgers on the Outer Banks! In fact, it’s been featured in Our State magazine as one of the best burger joints in North Carolina. The burgers go great with hand-cut french fries and an ice cold beer. PBR and Busch beers are offered at great prices.

Nothing too fancy here, it’s the beach after all! Laid back is the point of vacation and Art’s Place will offer you a great taste of what it’s like to live on a sandbar.

Sailing the Outer Banks

Sailing the Outer Banks

Vacationers will notice a handful of sailboats at every local Outer Banks port, either saddled up to the docks or breezing across the harbor, en route to the nearest sound for a cruise, or to the continent-spanning Intracoastal Waterway to continue a long coastal voyage. Some vacationers are even in it for the long haul, docking for a summer or a winter season at a number of local marinas that offer all the comforts of home. Clearly, sailing lovers of all varieties have plenty of options, but even newcomers to the sport can experiment with life on the water with a local sailing lesson, rental, or waterfront cruise.

Established in 1948 by Walter and Stelle Gray, Gray’s began as a single store on the beach road in Nags Head, a land mark that has been beautifully transformed into Seagreen Art Gallery. Visitors to the original Gray’s may remember that the family home was located above the store and that Walter Gray had a passion for Big Band music that was often playing on the store speakers, giving shoppers a little swing in their step.

 

Modern-day Gray’s is still family owned and operated by their children Ronnie and Julie Gray, who carry on a legacy of superior customer service and traditional values. Ronnie’s wife Susan is also an important part of the business. “It really was always a family operating as a business rather than a business being run by a family,” explains Ronnie Gray. “When our visitors come in, they are greeted by a warm hello and a ‘Welcome to Gray’s.’ We try to welcome them as if they’re entering our own home”
