Accomodations for this summer will be almost impossible to find if you do not have one now. Restaurants are at capacity and having trouble finding employees to work. With all that being said, OBX is still the BEST place to vacation.

It's almost vacation time!

SALVO, N.C. — A shark bit a teenage boy Thursday in the waters at Cape Hatteras.

The 16-year-old from Oak Ridge was jumping over waves with his sister and dad about 25 feet away from the shore, about 2.5 miles from Salvo, when the shark bit him on his leg.

Tim Arthur, the boy’s father, told FOX8 he heard his son scream and saw him fighting the shark. The shark has holding onto his son’s thigh, and the boy was trying to hit the shark with his hand.

Arthur swam over and started kicking and punching the shark to get it off. It let go once Arthur kicked it in the nose.

He suffered non-life-threatening injuries and required 17 stitches. The teenager was released later that night. He is now using crutches.

Arthur counted more than 40 teeth marks.

The family says they are still at the beach as of Friday and plan to stay for a few more days.

Corolla has had some issued this year with the wild horses. This is shared because we care!

Our post about Valor yesterday generated a lot of discussion about why we remove horses from the beach, what motivates that decision, and the reasons why a horse cannot be returned to the wild once it’s removed. Today we’ll try to answer those questions and provide some examples of other ways we...

If you have a vacation home on the Outer Banks and are considering going down there now, please DO NOT GO. Dare County is only allowing permanent residents with valid proof of residency across the bridges. As many of you might know, the Outer Banks Hospital only has 20 beds and could easily be overwhelmed. Take heed and wait until this COVID-19 is considered gone before you head to OBX.

Hurricane Dorian may be on the way here. A mandatory evacuation for Dare County visitors begins at Noon tomorrow. All residents must begin evacuating Wednesday at Noon.

So glad it's summer!

Commissioners in Nags Head on the Outer Banks have sent electric ride-sharing scooters to the curb. Officials in the beach town voted unanimously to ban the scooters, citing safety concerns and a lack of oversight by the ride-sharing companies that own them. The Nags Head Mayor said at Wednesday's meeting that representatives of electric scooter companies "seem to be really resistant to the idea of coming to the table first," meaning they never work with local government officials on developing rules and regulations before the companies put the scooters in communities. The town's planning board also said the scooters would be a hazard on the beach road or the bypass because they only reach speeds of 15 mph to 20 mph.
