Enjoy sand between your toes for a beach ceremony or lovely views of the ocean from our Observation Deck followed by an amazing sunset on the Currituck Sound during your reception at the Pavilion.

Design

Our Lifesaving Station Restaurant was one of the original Life Saving Stations (No 5) in the late 1800s to help rescue ships in distress off the Carolina coasts.

Standout venue features

On our small strip of a barrier island, watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean and the sun set over Currituck Sound.
