While beer and wine are found in many stores across the Outer Banks, you will need to visit a state-regulated ABC Store (Alcoholic Beverage Control) to purchase liquors. ABC stores are the only stores in North Carolina licensed to sell spirituous liquors. 

 ABC stores are large and have a massive selection of liquor to choose from. You will find a wide selection of vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, tequila, scotch, bourbon, triple sec, vermouth, bitters and anything else you may be looking for. A small amount of mixers also are available. 

 There are a few things to consider before you to head to the store for ingredients to make a refreshing Bahama Breeze or Strawberry Daquiri. First, the pricing of spirituous liquors is set throughout the state and are uniform at each store.  Second, all sales transactions require a form of ID, such as a driver’s license. Third, remember that ABC stores are closed on Sundays and plan accordingly. Lastly, always drink responsibly.

Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

More than 2,000 shipwrecks sunk off the Coast of North Carolina in what’s called the Graveyard of the Atlantic. With all that history floating around, it was only natural to build a museum to honor and preserve the maritime culture of the Outer Banks. A state-of-the-art structure, the year round museum houses and displays artifacts, and presents a variety of exhibits and interprets the rich maritime culture that includes war, piracy, ghost ships and more. Artifacts include thoseex from the USS Monitor, which sank 16 miles off the Hatteras coast. The lobby features the stunning and original, 1854, First Order Lens from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Current hibits include those on piracy and the Civil War on Hatteras Island.
