Outer Banks Shopping

For a tasty treat, head to Big Buck’s Homemade Ice Cream. Choose from more than 50 flavors of made-from-scratch ice cream plus sorbet and soft serve. You can get any flavor made into a shake, split, sundae or float, even a brownie sundae – yum! Big Buck’s has an espresso bar and all the espresso-based coffee drinks you need to pick up your day. Handmade Belgian chocolate and fudge are made fresh daily, and they also accept custom orders for wedding favors, baby showers and other events. And don't forget the ice cream cake! They have a flavor for every occasion.

In Duck’s Scarborough Lane Shops you'll find Cariloha Outer Banks, where you’re invited to experience the extraordinary plushness of fabrics made from bamboo – undeniably one of the most durable and eco-friendly materials on the planet. Check out their selection of exclusive clothing for men and women, along with an extensive line of bed and bath products in styles inspired by the Caribbean and the spirit of Aloha. Affectionately known as the “loving stalk” of the world, bamboo self-renews in rapid abundance and offers incredibly strong, moisture-wicking fibers that are a whopping 3 degrees cooler than cotton and twice as soft. Try on some silky shirts, pants or PJs or run your fingers along a few of their velvety sheets, blankets or towels. You can even take a time-out to rest on the showroom’s Bamboo Comfort Mattress. And just so you know, you could also have the mattress, or any of their bedding and bath products, delivered home with free shipping (within the continental United States). Derived from a celebrated miracle plant, the products at Cariloha Outer Banks present healthful comfort and bio-consciousness all woven into heavenly softness.
