Love the restaurants there.
Some of the mini golf places have real turf. Makes for a whole new kind of putt putt. The one we went to even had a halfway house after the ninth hole where you can get snacks and beer and sit and relax.
That worked out well when we were there because it was over 100 degrees every day.
The KOA campground at Rodanthe was nice too. We had a cabin just steps from the ocean and could hear the waves crashing at night.

A friend of ours worked at the water slide (it was just a water slide not a park in the 80's) in Rodanthe and we would go after it closed. He would cut back the water and you could fly down that slide.
We would head down to the Outer Banks just about every weekend looking for waves living out of my buddies van. Those were the days. Not a care in the world. We would run from Duck to Hatteras looking for waves and when we got tired would just park and crash. Back then you could leave you car unlocked and your surfboards on top of your car without any problems. The road the Hatteras was not very even in the 80s and at times it would feel like you getting airborn going over some of the humps.
I have so many memories in the Outer Banks starting from family vacations back in the 70's. We have a place down there and while I love the OB its just not what it was back in the 70's.
