About Us

Established in 1987, NBO offers the highest quality outdoor merchandise, fashion,and kayak tours on the Outer Banks. The store is located in the Waterfront Shops on the Currituck Sound. Our store faces West, and sunset watching from our deck is a memorable part of the day for shoppers and visitors.

NBO is locally owned, locally managed and locally staffed. Our friendly staff is here to help you chose the right gear, the right vacation tee shirt, recommend a local restaurant or vantage point for wildlife photography. If you can't be here in person, please join us in spirit online. If you don't see it ask!

At North Beach Outfitters we take a lot of pride in selecting the right clothing for the right situation. We know you want a top quality garment, at a great price, in an atmosphere that can’t be beat. You want something that can go from the beach to the barbeque & river to the restaurant. You need products that work for you, look good & feel good. With quick dry, UPF rated, and outerwear pieces from Patagonia, The North Face, Mountain Hardware, Helly Hansen & many more, we keep the sweat, sun and rain off you and off your mind. That leaves only enjoying the outdoors!

Our Personal Shoppers are always available by phone or email to assist you with finding virtually any styles offered by our Featured Brands. Just let us know what you are looking for, and we'll find it and ship it to you or to our store!
