Ghost Crabbing
Ghost Crabbing
Ghost crabbing is a great nighttime beach activity that is fun for all ages. Take a flashlight on the beach after dark and try to spot them crawling in and out of the sand. Local beach shops and stores sell ghost crabbing kits, but you don't need those to have a good time. Look in your guest bag for the flashlight that was made specifically for ghost crabbing!
You can also find arcade games at Paradise Fun Park, Avalon Pier and the RC Theaters, all in Kill Devil Hills. The Bowling Alley and OBX Laser Tag, both in Nags Head also offer a plethora of arcade games!
