Solitary Swan

Opened in 1990, this store is still sometimes called an antique shop, but the owner said it is more accurately described as a quirky little shop that sells some antiques.  What it is mostly known for is its signage that celebrates everything from the beach, to nature to universal life experiences.  

The signs, with clever, funny or inspirational sayings, range in size from a pretty embroidered cloth in a frame that can be displayed on a desk or table, to large wood-framed signs that can be posted on a fence, a door or a wall. Other signs are made of tin and are colorful, light and durable.  There are also charming pieces of folk art, baskets and metal garden décor mixed in among offerings like vintage clothing, fabric runners, old quilts and coverlets.  

This is one of those stores that offer surprises everywhere you turn, because you’re never quite sure what to expect to see. The merchandise is unique, and it seems like its main focus is that it be interesting and well-made. Even if customers can’t find what they’re looking for themselves, this is a great place to find a one-of-a-kind gift.

Old Lighthouse Beach

Avid Outer Banks Surfers and sightseers alike are familiar with Old Lighthouse Beach, a stretch of sand in the heart of Buxton that was once the sight of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Convenient and renowned for its good shelling and great waves...

Buxton Woods

Perhaps the reason that this area of maritime forest goes unnoticed, (an area which in fact comprises the majority of Frisco Village), is simply because the oceanfront beaches just yards away are too alluring to ignore, and garner the lion's share...

Currituck National Wildlife Refuge

It's easy to see why vacationers fall in love with Carova. Located almost literally off the Outer Banks map, while other towns along the barrier islands of North Carolina grew and developed over the decades and became popular East Coast tourism...
