Overview

Situated on a high dune in the charming community of Sandy Ridge, this comfortable vacation home offers a view from seemingly every standpoint, from the ocean to the sound. Adjacent to the Army Corps of Engineers open land, the north facing view boasts over a mile of uninterrupted, rolling dunes, highlighted by a vista of the Duck Research Pier. A quick walk to the end of the street leads you to the Sandy Ridge community pool, open to guests of Rainbow Connection. At the other end of this quiet road you will find the community beach access. Due to the lack of development to the north, the beaches of the Sandy Ridge community are generally spacious and uncrowded. Draped in decks, this cottage appeals to the vacationer that likes to spend time outdoors as well as relax at home. Rainbow Connection is classically decorated with Outer Banks style. Four spacious bedrooms are ideal for accommodating a single family or smaller group. The end of the rainbow is located in Sandy Ridge in Duck.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
