Outer Banks surf shops are integral parts of beach shopping. For some folks, it doesn’t really feel like you’re at the beach until you’ve gone into a store that smells like surf wax, has clothes hanging up from floor to ceiling and racks of surfboards are scattered about the place. If you get to your vacation destination and realize you forgot any type of beach equipment at home, stop by a surf shop to take care of your needs. Outer Banks surf shops are some of the best places on the beach to find islander inspired clothes, swimwear, surfboards, skim boards, sunglasses, beach accessories and more. You can also find watersport equipment rentals and lessons offered through several surf stores. Some of the surf shops are parts of large franchises that you might recognize while others are family-owned and only local to the Outer Banks. So if you’re on the hunt for any type of beach gear, swing by an Outer Banks surf shop near you and get ready to catch some waves.
