A Few Additional Tips

Grocery Shopping

There are two standard grocery store chains that have multiple locations on the Outer Banks; Harris Teeter (in Corolla, Kitty Hawk, and Kill Devil Hills) and Food Lion (in Corolla, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head). Publix Super Market is located in Kill Devil Hills. Tommy’s Natural Foods Market & Wine Shop in Duck has the largest selection of local, vegan, and gluten-free products in the area, and you can pre-order groceries through their website.

Outer Banks stores can be very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so we recommend planning your grocery shopping trip accordingly.

Traffic

Outer Banks traffic can be very heavy on Saturdays and Sundays, especially heading north towards Duck and Corolla, so make your travel plans with this in mind.
