Keep your vacation stress free! Pack your casual beach clothes & essentials and let Ocean Atlantic Rentals deliver the rest!

CURBSIDE PICKUP/CONTACTLESS DELIVERY: 1-800-635-9559

All 4 of our stores (Duck, Corolla, KDH & Avon) are open 7 days a week from 9am-5pm.

This season we will be offering same day delivery on orders placed before 1pm.

We have spent a considerable amount of time and effort into creating and posting policies regarding:

• Disinfecting, cleaning and handling of OAR rental gear

• How we are serving our OAR customers safely (curbside/delivery, etc)

JUST RENT IT! Since 1979, OAR has been serving families with quality gear for their beach vacation fun, their baby needs, or the even the beach cottage, all at reasonable daily & weekly rental rates.  Reservations before your arrival are strongly encouraged, and can be made at www.OceanAtlanticRentals.com or toll-free at 1-800-635-9559 every day of the week!

Everything can be delivered to your door; from bikes to surf boards, kayaks and paddleboards, OAR stocks the fun stuff to enjoy in the water, or on land. Back at your beach home, OAR has you covered with gas grill rentals, rollaway beds, beach towels, and even dog crates!  Bike rentals for the entire family are just a call away at Ocean Atlantic Rentals, or get around town on a Golf Cart LSV.  These street legal golf carts are a great way to explore the villages, or get your family and gear to the beach everyday if your vacation home is some distance from the Atlantic ocean.  If you are traveling with small children, OAR has cribs, high chairs, gates, and even play yards and strollers for the little ones, made just for the beach!

You don’t have to buy cheap beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers while you are here. Just rent them at Ocean Atlantic Rentals, and get quality gear that is built to last. Individual items may be rented, or Beach Value packages are available where you will really get your money's worth!

Cabana services are available with the OBX Umbrella Service! Your items will be setup each morning, and taken down every evening at your beach spot!  We will text message you each day as your gear is ready for use, and can even provide iced coolers each day with your setup.

If you prefer to visit one of our 4 local store locations, no problem! Stop in and checkout the gear for yourself at on of our rental centers, located in the Corolla Light Town Center, in the Village of Duck, on the Kill Devil Hills bypass (serving all of Kitty Hawk and Nags Head), and down on Hatteras Island, located in Avon, right next to Outer Beaches Realty.  

Staying in the 4x4 area of the northern beaches near Carova? No problem again, just let OAR handle the delivery to the off-road area for you, or pickup your gear at our Corolla store and save money!

Planning an incredible beach wedding, or even a casual back-yard oyster roast? Let the staff at OAR bring their local knowledge and help you do it right! OAR’s wedding and event division is located in our Kill Devil Hills showroom, and offers tables, chairs, tents, dishware, linen, and so much more to make your party incredible!

Sandy Run Park

Sandy Run Park

Sandy Run Park leads its visitors through the heart of Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Preserve, one of the largest maritime forests remaining in North Carolina. Completed in two phases, the park now encompasses 1600 acres of marshland, waterways and maritime forest. The park features a wooden boardwalk, two gazebos, a fishing and many more amenities for the enjoyment of the area's natural beauty and wildlife. On a stroll through the park you will likely run into many of the area's indigenous creatures and plants.Just after entering the park, and next to the ample parking area you’ll find a covered picnic pavilion, a putting green, cookout grills and a basketball half court. Below the pavilion is a canoe and kayak access deck. Beyond this recreation and picnic area is a half-mile loop, mostly boardwalk, that will take you on a scenic and educational tour of a large section of the Preserve, where wildlife and plants are identified by plaques placed along the route. At the first gazebo stop is another kayak and canoe access where you’re sure to see many yellow-bellied slider turtles swimming all around and an Osprey family nesting above. Other creatures you may get a glimpse of include deer, otter, egrets, raccoons and even a nutria. Also along the boardwalk you’ll find an observation deck and a pier for fishing (license required). The fishing pond is stocked with several varieties of fish, including brim and bass..Sandy Run Park is open from sunrise to sunset. Although the cost is free, the natural serenity and beauty it offers is priceless.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for 26! years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 25 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
