Labor Day Weekend at the Beach
We tried a new to us place for lunch, The Rundown Cafe. It is on the beach road on Milepost 1 for all of you familiar with the OBX. It was wonderful and we’ll definitely go back. Mr. SP had a Baja Fish Wrap and I had Sesame Noodles with Coconut Shrimp. As Rachael Ray would say, Yum-Oh!!
The Rundown Cafe has a beautiful pond in front full of huge Koi. Some of them were gigantic!
After lunch we hit the beach for a few hours. Both of us spent the majority of the time sleeping. There’s nothing like a nap on the beach!
After the beach, we went for a bike ride. We rode along the sound and then into some neighborhoods. The OBX has an incredible bike trail system. We start and end our ride with a loop around the Wright Brother’s Memorial.
Dinner was at one of our favorite restaurants, The Fisherman’s Wharf in Wanchese. We had to wait a long time for a table, but it was worth the wait. We watched the sun set while we waited.
Look at the moon! What a perfect ending for a perfect day!
You did a lot in one day, Paula!! And it sounds like it was a great time!! The beach pictures are fabulous. I love rocky beaches with the native grasses swaying in the wind.
The restaurant, The Rundown Cafe (great name) looks like fun. Wow, those portions are large!!
Lucky girl!! 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your holiday!!

The outer banks is such a blissful beach experience. Where did you stay? Or, did you just go for the day?
