Our favorite pizza place on the island. They also make a decent gluten free crust if you eat GF. Order way ahead during the summer as they get quite busy.

Sightseeing

Fort Macon State Park is about 30 minutes from the house. This fort is beautifully maintained and has helpful rangers to share the history. You can take a guided tour or just roam around on your own. Beautiful views of the ocean from the top of the fort.

Entertainment

You'll pass this place just before crossing the bridge onto the island. Good place to go on a rainy day or if your kids need some entertainment.

You wouldn't know it just from driving by, but there are some cute shops and restaurants tucked back in here (same parking lot as the Food Lion).
