4. Outer Banks Karaoke Bars
Whether you’re a great singer or a terrible singer, you can experience a fun night of show tunes, country classics, pop divas, and more with an OBX karaoke night.
There are two components to consider for the perfect karaoke night. The easy part is finding the perfect place to sing. There are popular bars in just about every Outer Banks town that host karaoke nights, including Corolla, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head. The hard part is choosing the perfect song that will get everyone dancing!

Just after sunset, grab a flashlight and your best ghost crab hunting crew and scavenge the shore for the iridescent, white critters. They aren’t hard to come across, and it’s the perfect kid-friendly activity to release that last bit of energy before walking back to your OBX vacation rental at the end of the day.
