Lodging:
So you now have lots to do - but where will you stay? My personal choice is a Hattersas NC vacation rental. I have kids - and beaches are messy and you go through tons of laundry - having an outside spigot and a washer and dryer is SO NICE - especially if you’re planning on staying for a week or more and dont want to pack every stitch of clothing you all own.

Dining:

Where do you eat? Kids like one thing, grown-ups another - so how about some family friendly restaurants with a wide variety on the menu?

Avon:

• Bubba’s Too BBQ and Chicken - which is eat in or carry out if you’re into relaxing back at hour “home base.” Good size menu and kids love fried chicken so that’s easy. Great homemade BBQ and original sauce!
• Fun and great food at the Dolphin Den - huge family restaurant that specializes in locally caught seafood. Kids menu for the little fishermen!
• The Mad Crabber Restaurant is a local hang-out and features really good and reasonably priced seafood. Kids menu and a game room to keep them entertained!

Frisco

• Frisco has the original Bubba’s BBQ - see above
• Try the Gingerbread house for lunch or dinner - great desserts too

Hatteras:

• Rocco’s Pizza - An island fave for pizza and Italian dishes. Family oriented & great atmosphere
