Welcoming all sun seekers, The Sun Shack Tiki-Bo-Tiki Tanning Salon has been offering “beautiful tans since 1999” - and without the hassle of contracts or membership fees. It specializes in professionally detailed mist tanning and will serve individuals to entire wedding parties.

Offered at the salon are single-visit to 12-month unlimited tanning packages, featuring Ergoline, Soltron and SunDash 15-minute Super Beds that sit in colorful rooms, artistically decorated with beach motifs.

Comments on face book, like “wonderful job” and “great experience” are evidence that customer service and satisfaction are priorities for the salon. Not only does the Shack provide great tanning beds, says one satisfied customer, but it sells a very nice selection of “cute,“ stylish casual dresses, tops, bags, fun jewelry and quality beauty supplies.

Sun Shack sees a tan as “a work of art” and says it has everything needed, including over eight years of professional detailed spray tanning experience, to create that work. The salon is open for business every day of the year, and though appointments are recommended, walk-ins are welcome as well.

You’ll find the Sun Shack at Seagate North Shopping Center on the Bypass (Hwy 158) on the beach side in Kill Devil Hills. Off-season hours may vary.

Sailing the Outer Banks
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.
