PROFILE

Celebrating 50 Years on the Outer Banks

In 1974, we opened our first little store on the beach road with a few hundred square feet, friendly service, and hundreds of hammocks. Beyond the warm smiles and all that rope, there lay dedication and a commitment. Our objective: to deliver products that are comfortable and durable enough to withstand the test of time.

Although we have outgrown that first store and expanded our product offering, Nags Head Hammocks remains committed to handcrafting every hammock, every swing, and every piece of outdoor furniture right here in North Carolina. We use industry-leading materials, proven crafting techniques, and Fifty Years of experience to produce the most comfortable and durable products anywhere. Products we believe in so much that they come with a Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee.

For those who discovered us when the beach had a more rustic charm, rest assured that our stores are now more inviting than ever. The Outer Banks is special, and we do everything we can to keep it that way. While a lot has changed over the years, the most rewarding part of our day continues to be opening the doors each morning, hanging our handcrafted hammocks in the yard, and watching folks enjoy them year after year. For the past Fifty Years we have been perfecting the art of relaxation at Nags Head Hammocks and will continue that tradition well into the future.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
