Dining in Carova
Whatever the appetite, the restaurants of Carova will have something to satisfy. No trip to this North Carolina vacation destination would be complete without a visit to Outer Banks Boil Company, specialists in North Carolinian steamed, pulled, and boiled goodness. Situated right on the beach, guests can take their pot of crabs legs, mussels, or other delicacies to go. If you're looking for a sit-down meal at home without the wait or the mess of cooking yourself, you can arrange catering for you and your party.
For a more casual or spontaneous bite, head to Oh My Dog, a relaxed, casual dining restaurant that specializes in jaw-dropping hotdogs, small plates, and chili cheese fries. There's also a series of breakfast specials, and all meals can and should be eaten on the patio in the sunshine! This is a pet and kid-friendly restaurant with quick and warm service.
Kids will love Carova
Vacationers with kids will never run short of things to do in and around Carova.

This giant jungle gym consists of different obstacles and zip lines to suit a variety of age and skill levels, and is fully staffed by trained professionals year-round. It's a great way to get out into the forest and enjoy a great view of the park while getting your heart racing!

Nightlife in Carova
Head to nearby Corolla after sundown to be amazed by the awesome nightlife options that start to light up. Locals and tourists alike flock to The Shack Coffee Shop & Beer Garden, right on Ocean Trail, for coffee and tasty pastries by day, and the outdoor bar and wine truck by night. The eclectic interior creates a relaxed, convivial vibe, perfect for sipping down some cold ones with your vacation companions. Get ready for some truly stunning wood furniture and a gorgeous beer garden. Those heading there on a Friday or Saturday night during summer months can expect somewhat of a party.
On the north side of the islet, you'll find Uncle Ike's Sandbar & Grill, serving up seafood and steaks alongside quality cocktails and beers in a cool, quirky venue. In the summer, live bands, karaoke, and DJs on the outdoor deck pull in locals and tourists alike for one of the best party experiences in town. Looking to catch a game with a cold one? Uncle Ike's shows NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and UFC, depending on the season, on its 11 TVs, and the atmosphere is always friendly and upbeat.
Where to head for a day trip
Those looking to branch out should head over to Knotts Island for Martin Farm and Winery. Pay a visit to the cute farm animals, and walk amongst the gorgeous grounds on a sunny day. Make sure to try their homemade apple wine, and don't leave without picking your own bag of zucchini, peppers, or eggplant! Currituck Banks is also a great option for half a day; a picturesque nature path through National Estuarine Research Reserve. Traverse raised trails through this absolutely unique ecosystem. Those who enjoy a stroll along the path may run into some of the wild horses and squirrels who call this park their home. Bug spray is advised during summer months!
