Nothing beats the glow of a nice suntan, so why not put that to use, get a dolled up and head to Ocean Boulevard for some fine cocktails and gourmet dishes? The restaurant features a quiet and classy atmosphere great for a romantic evening. You can either sit in the restaurant for a candlelit meal, or on the outdoor patio to enjoy a fresh salty breeze and the sound of the neighboring sea.

Ocean Boulevard offers an extensive fine dining menu, including nightly dinner specials usually featuring fresh seafood. Start with the Bistro baked Clams Antipasti or Seven Lettuce salad. Do not forget to save room for a delicious entrée like the Local Jumbo Lump Crabcake or Pan Roasted Duck Breast. 

Ocean Boulevard also features an amazing wine list. Ask your server to pair your meal with a bottle of OBX’s finest, and you will not be disappointed. The bar also offers a great martini menu, if that is more your taste. If you choose to sit on the patio, the restaurant features live music everyday outside from 6pm-9pm. The indoor martini bar stays open until 2 am, as dinner service ends at 10. Ocean Boulevard frequently hosts musicians that play late night jam sessions. Be sure to check out the music schedule while you are in town for some great local music sure to delight your ear. 

So come by, leave the kids at home, sport your new glow and nice clothes, order yourself a great martini and sit back and enjoy either some great tunes or the natural sounds of the ocean. What a perfect way to end a day of hard vacationing. 

Seasonal hours vary.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
