Clothes: You can get good deals if you get the 50% off which is usually running when we are here every September. Could be all summer, I'm not sure. The fabric on most of the clothes is about 50% lighter than what you get at normal department stores. Be SURE to check all the stitching before you leave because many times you will find flaws and need to get something different. There styles are unique to OBX. You get what you pay for. The stores are everywhere.
Staff: They do what you ask, but that's it. Most of them are European and have the "I don't give an F" attitude. Barely say a word to you and usually never say thanks.

Additionally, their shells are all painted, which is extremely unnatural and oftentimes the paint can harm the crabs. Overall, although they have good products, I morally cannot buy...
Read moreI was recently in Kitty Hawk and went to this place and spent a lot of money . I got home to Dallas Texas and looked online thinking I could buy some more items and have it shipped and noticed they don’t have shopping online . What ? Why? Omg I literally could not Buy anymore and take it in the plane with me. Why would a business in the year 2022 not have an online website to order from. Well guess I won’t be spending anymore after all. Maybe the shop OBX has a website to order from … I loved the store and wanted to do some Christmas shopping so I guess I would have to go somewhere else. This is why I only gave it 4 stars . It left me wanting more with no option to buy it and have...
