Ketch 55, the former Mack Daddy's Grill and Raw Bar is a seafood-inspired dining experience that takes culinary art seriously. They focus on fine, fresh ingredients to prepare everything from a simple plate to a more complex offering. A first course can include everything from antipasto and Hereford beef skewers to sauteed crab salad and tuna bacon poke, PEI mussels, risotto Caprese and a shrimp hot pot. Enjoy salad selections: house, spinach and goat cheese, and caesar. Select your favorite seafood from the steam/raw bar including cold water oysters and local shrimp. Main courses include a mix of seafood and meat such as grilled pork chops and free-range glazed chicken or Thai glazed tuna, fresh catch of the day or shrimp and grits. Savor jumbo lump crabcakes, seafood curry, Alaskan snow crab legs or combination plates. They even offer an Outer Banks favorite - fish tacos. The menu includes kids selections, and extensive beer and wine list with plenty of draft beers from which to choose. They can offer advice on pairing these beverages with your food selection, and the folks at Ketch 55 always consider special dietary concerns. If you are looking for fresh food prepared and presented by a caring staff, Ketch 55 is a good choice for evening dining in Avon. Add live music into the mix, and you have a full-body experience by the sea. They don't accept reservations, atmosphere is casual, and the eatery is handicapped-accessible.

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.
The Wright Brothers National Memorial is a "Must See" attraction for any Outer Banks aviation enthusiast, history lover, and virtually any Kill Devil Hills vacationer who wants an up-close look at the towering granite structure that towers over the town's landscape.
OCEANVIEW Avon — Ocean Isle Estates — Life is a breeze when you settle into AVON SEA BREEZE for your Hatteras Island vacation, as this attractively refreshed seven-bedroom/six-full and two-half-bath home has everything you need to entirely relax, recharge and revel in the memorable moments this pretty modern setting will inspire. Although the beach is just a fast walk away via a boarded walkway, you only need to step outside to the ground-level pool and six-person hot tub to seek relaxing waters for a invigorating respite. An outdoor shower is located alongside the pool, as well as a convenient half-bath. Step inside and discover a ground-level game room featuring a ping pong table, TV, and wet bar with a full-size refrigerator and microwave. There is a new washer/dryer on this level as well as two bedrooms — a room with two singles and another with two bunkbeds — that share a full hallway bath. A ground level elevator provides simple access to the home’s upper levels. Four more bedrooms occupy the first level: two master king bedrooms with deck access and two master queen bedrooms, one with deck access. All of these bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms and Intelligent TVs. A separate media area with deck access offers a comfortable space to watch TV or cuddle up with a good book. The final bedroom, a master king with a Intelligent TV and an ensuite bath featuring a hottub tub, is located on the second level, just off the great room. It’s here, in this light filled, open and airy space that you will feel an undeniable sense of place. The pastel colors and new light hued LVP floor evoke the sea and sand; the wood trim, of the island’s natural surroundings. Recently remodeled, the roomy chef’s kitchen now features brand-new cabinets, countertops, stainless appliances including a bigger capacity refrigerator and a pantry space to accommodate your groceries. Gather everybody for those delicious vacation-home-cooked feasts around the eight-seat dining table or at the six-seat kitchen counter for less formal meals. A 50-inch Intelligent TV anchors the entertainment area where brand new furnishings may encourage you to grow roots as you settle into the evening. Or perhaps you’ll step up to the private loft area where a cozy seating area is ideal for reading a book or simply escaping for a peaceful nap, or maybe out onto the deck to watch the sky fill with stars.
