Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I would highly recommend this as a place to visit. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and made the visit much more meaningful. The artifacts and just being in this place was very humbling.

    Beautiful area to drive through and/or hike to see wildlife. The dunes are gorgeous. It was unfortunately very windy and cold when I was there so was not able to hike but will definitely go back in warmer weather.

    For those crying about the 2.00 fee to go out onto the pier...stop. The money is used to maintain the Pier. Great views out into the ocean, and back towards the beach. Great for fishing. Place also has a shop and game room.

    Access road has a huge hole filled with sea water about a half foot deep. Sand at end of street is easy to get stuck in. House is lovely outside. It is rented so you cannot/should not venture further than driveway to turn around. House is at the end of the access street with only the sand dunes between it and the Ocean. Took a pic but it did not look any different than the photos you can see on the Internet. I suspect the large hole in the road is to keep sightseers away so others on the same access road do not have to deal with the traffic. Access road is across the street from the Pet Resort.

    Store has very anti-customer policies in place. While other stores have dressing rooms open, this one has them blocked off. In addition, they proudly defend their "store credit only" policy, NO MATTER WHAT. Well, in some aspects, I understand this. However, when you block off the dressing rooms and have a VERY poor selection of sizes for people (my daughter needed a L, all we could find were M, XL, and XXL) this is a very poor policy, likely chosen to force customers to buy something they don't want. We bought a swimsuit because my daughter needed it. I heard the clerk say we needed to leave the tags on for returns, but not much else. He possibly said something about the credit only on returns, but I missed it if he did, and it certainly isn't on their generic receipts. After getting to a restroom at the beach, my daughter was upset that it didn't fit, and didn't bother wearing it. We took it back within about 2 hours.

    Since they had nothing decent that my daughter could use, their store credit was worthless to me. While telling a different clerk that credit was useless, he calls the other one out (that originally did my transaction a few hours earlier). The first thing he says as he's walking over is "DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU EARLIER?" in the most condescending voice I've heard from a store clerk. My reply was "Yes, and I left the tags on." The two clerks proceeded to speak to each other in their native language, which of course is never promising, and also highly condescending. Sadly I didn't get my money back. I requested my receipt back (had to say it multiple times before they did) and told them it wasn't over and I'd be disputing this. It's one thing that they only do credit. I'm fine with that. But when you DON'T have the merchandise to back up the policy, it needs to be relaxed. They were also happy to keep the returned items. So now I'm out both the money and the useless swimsuit pieces.

    Needless to say, the customer is NEVER right in this place. They hide behind suspect and anti-customer policies, and close off the dressing rooms, likely to lock your money with them so you can't get it back. Staff is extremely rude. If you want silly beach items, it's probably fine. But if you want a swim suit, DO NOT RISK IT! These people do NOT deserve your hard-earned money.

    Interestingly, upon arrival at their store, their door was shattered. My guess is a dissatisfied customer after an interaction with their rude staff. I'm not surprised frankly. Never have I dealt with someone like that in my 41 years of life.

    Gladly went to another store, spent my money there. They had better selections, more sizes, dressing rooms open, and much friendlier staff.

    This is a nice arcade. We went there initially to do the climbing wall but it is was closed for the season so we spent some time at the arcade. As mentioned in other reviews, prices are typical for the beach, the prizes are not great but the games were fun.

    super cute shop with really helpful owner. Stop by the bead shop to design your own jewelry or in the coffee shop next door for a yummy frozen smoothie or latte.

    Highly recommend private surf lessons! I had never surfed or done any board sports before and Nick did a great job of teaching and facilitating. Kitty Hawk Kites had to reschedule due to weather conditions and that all went seamlessly. It was a great experience and I'd love to go out again.
