Located just one block away from the beach, the Travelodge Hotel Kill Devil Hills is a fine option for visitors who want to spend a night, a weekend, or a full week’s vacation in the heart of the Outer Banks.

Visitors can easily reach local attractions, including the Memorial, mini golf courses, and a local fishing pier, but will also find a host of amenities right on-site. The hotel features a heated outdoor pool and easy beach access, as well as a business center for working vacations. Individual rooms boast free wireless internet access and cable TV, as well as mini refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers for easy meals or breakfasts. A number of rooms and suites also feature balconies with prime ocean views or pool views. Pet-friendly rooms are located on the first floor and feature private patios. With ample room for couples and families alike, the Travelodge Hotel Kill Devil Hills is a solid choice for fully exploring the OBX coastline.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

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.
