Askins Creek Store is the southernmost business in Avon and known by the locals as the BP as in the oil company! Called a well-kept secret, the year-round shop is the stop for purchasing souvenirs that are called a step-up from the usual. You can purchase gifts, souvenirs, and fine beach shirts, sweatshirts and shoes. They offer exclusive S-Turns, Canadian Hole, Kite Point, Kinnakeet, and Reel Point merchandise. Has shopping worked up your appetite? Look no further. Askins Creek has warm breakfast sandwiches and a lunch deli. They also offer a great selection of fine wines and beer.

Askins not only is a hub for food, dress and gifts, they also supply fishing licenses, and bait and tackle. Feeling lucky? Pick up a NC Lotto ticket here. Askins also is an agent for MoneyGram services.

Fuel up your vehicle with BP products while you are here. And you might as well use the car wash and get some of the sand off your vehicle at their onsite car wash!  It’s automatic, too!

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge

Explore Hatteras Island at its natural best with a visit to the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Covering 13 miles of Cape Hatteras National Seashore land, this attraction is hard to miss, although there aren't many giant signs, hotels or businesses to point the way. Instead, visitors will find a completely undeveloped parcel of land, that's well-stocked with gorgeous views and serene nature trails that are ideal for off-the-beaten path excursions.
