The perfect rainy day destination, come inside and make piece of jewelry to memorialize your visit to the Outer Banks. Owner Amy Ford is very warm and down-to-earth; with a degree in Fine Arts she's a painter by trade, but knows her way around many various types of art, and easily welcomes you to come and browse her wide selection of colorful beads and beading supplies.

If you happen to catch her while not terribly busy tending to customers, she will host an impromptu beading clinic for you! All manner of hands-on arts are appreciated at The Bead Shop. Some of these include wire-wrap, crochet, painting (classes available), sculpting, knitting, furniture distressing, and of course...beading!
