Aqua walls and comfy carpeted floors greet the guests at Jewels by the Sea. The shop positively glitters from every angle with cases and displays presenting sea-inspired wearable art that is creatively designed and crafted with care. The versatile array and colors alone would drive a sane woman wild as she envisons donning everything from earrings, pendants and bracelets to rings and pins. Feast your eyes on stunning seaglass cuffs, lighthouse cut prism jewelry, handcarved Tahitian pearls and shell- and diamond- encrusted, nature-inspired jewelry. Designers hail from around the world and include local folk, as well. Denny Wong from Hawaii creates outstanding pendants and necklaces that pay homage to sealife. Imagine crabs with legs and claws that actually move and are graced with fine diamonds. Wong works in both white and yellow gold and creates intricate wearable creatures that could pass muster with a marine scientist. A baby hatchling turtle actually has moving flippers and head. Designers focus on seaside themes including islands, seahorses, sea stars, wrays, dolphins and shells. But take note - this is not a kitchy, beachy sort of place, but rather a fine art experience that presents creations by artists with a true reverence for the sea and their craft. Discover jewelry crafted from semi- and precious gems, fine gold, sterling silver, onyx, pearls, seaglass and shells. Colors light up the space from emerald green and hot pink to ruby red, purple and irridescent hues. And earthy turquoise and other natural stones find their place in the mix, too! Whether looking for the right piece for everyday - watch bands -, special events or even wedding wear - they have a selection of wedding rings - you are offered many choices. They even exhibit jewelry for little girls - earrings, crosses, necklaces and bracelets. There are so many reasons to shop here, it would take too much space to include, but what also makes Jewels by the Sea so outstanding is the warm greeting you receive and the way everything is presented. Yes, it is a dazzling experience, but the refined cases and layout of them within the spacious and sun-lit store, make simply being in the shop a worthwhile experience. This is a must-see in Avon!

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
Head south over the Marc Basnight bridge, or take the Hatteras / Ocracoke ferry from Ocracoke Island, and you'll land on the shores of Hatteras Island.
SOUNDSIDE Avon – Kinnakeet Shores – When the native white ibis finds a hospitable place to nest, the prized bird must be on to something. For human visitors, KINNAKEET IBIS is that place. It is surrounded by the sound’s wetlands, where nature and exercise trails weave throughout the neighborhood. It offers simple access to the Pamlico Sound for canoeing, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing. It sits two streets away from the ocean. There’s a community lake, pool and tennis courts that are comfortably accessible. Finest of all, the six-bedroom/five-bath home emanates a warm sense of home that makes it naturally painless to settle in and let vacation take over. On the ground level, savor a private pool and patio with both ample shade and sun to position an Adirondack chair for max. relaxation. A new 6-person hot tub offers a calming respite, whenever you need it. A game room featuring a pool table, foosball table and enormous 50-inch Intelligent TV with Blu-ray pulls the action inside where you can make use of the refrigerator to store some snacks and drinks. A laundry room, full bath with a tub/shower and a bedroom with a full bed completes this level. Four bright and cavernous bedrooms occupy the second level. Two queen bedrooms offer calming lake vistas from private deck access. One features a private bath and a 32-inch Intelligent TV. The other also has a 32-inch Intelligent TV and shares a full bath with a bedroom offering two singles with a 32-inch TV/Blue-ray player.

The attractively equipped kitchen makes vacation cooking a dream. Appreciate the choice to serve up your meals at the four-stool breakfast island, eight-seat dining table or at the picnic table on the adjacent deck.
