Nothing is better.

Need a Weekend Escape? Try Cape Moonshine, North Carolina!

Discover a hidden gem on the Carolina Outer Banks!

Get away from it all!

A travel guide for anyone wanting to escape to the beach!

Cape Moonshine has all the history, the dining, the beach and the perfect margaritas anyone would ever want!
I recently spent a delightful weekend vacation there, and here are my best recommendations!

First, start your morning off right and head down to the charming Sit a Spell bakery where you can sit at an old fashioned counter and enjoy delicious hand crafted gourmet coffee drinks and homemade baked goods, made right there!

Then downtown Moonshine is full of quaint and unique shopping, such as the Belle Sage boutique, where I guarantee you will find the perfect gift or date night outfit!

it’s a truly magical place!

Next you’ll definitely want to visit the historic Cape Moonshine lighthouse! Guided tours are available from locals dressed like pirates! Climb to the top for unbeatable views of the Outer Banks!

It’s the perfect spot for an Instagram fashion shoot or even a proposal!

If you want great local color and cold drinks, the best local spot is the Southern Cross Brewhouse! Slide in through old fashioned saloon doors and ask for a table overlooking the dock for great sunset views!

If you’re needing a relaxing vacation or a fun girls’ weekend, Cape Moonshine can’t be beat!
