    A relatively new establishment out in Rodanthe. This location was built specifically to cater to the kiteboarding tourists. Half of the shop is for kiteboarding, the other half is for toys (beach toys and single line kites), souvenirs, and women's clothing. The staff were all friendly and helpful when approached. The good winds restaurant is on the 2nd floor in the same building. There's a "Good Life" brand shop and a coffee shop attached as well on the same floor at the main store. Outside they have access to the lesson and rental storefront. It's a small concrete basement/cave on the back corner of the building. A boon to kiters, you'll find compressed air hoses lining the prep and launch areas. Not so great though, the compressed air system has a bit of a leak (or it's letting too much condensation in) and water is being sprayed with the air. Not good for your kite bladders. Compared to REAL Watersports, just down the street, the vibe here a bit more laid back. The employees don't all have matching outfits. Also they let all kiters come and use their facilities. REAL, you have to take a lesson there in order to use their launch/land area.

    The lesson started with some time learning about the gear and technique and then we quickly transitioned to the water.

    If you have a favorite fishing hole, then this is a fisherman's oasis! Dillon's is a nice little…read morepit stop in Buxton! It's stocked to the gills with everything for anglers! Bait, fishing poles, tackle and other fishing gear! You'll also find sundries, emergency gear, sunglasses, hats, windbreakers, waders, sunscreen and anything else you can think of to fill your tackle box, cooler or beach bag! But that's not all folks! Upstairs is a "reel" cool souvenir and beach shop loaded with towels, clothing, mugs, koozies, magnets, jewelry, candles and other great catches!! The nautical section caught my eye and I found an awesome lightly woven turquoise blanket that was just why I needed! They had some pretty decorative pillows, tons of lighthouses, mermaid décor, beachy pictures and signage, and loads of gifts and nautical souvenirs for the tourists and the locals alike! If you love Java... you'll love the coffee bar a latte! The beverage menu is appealing and the coffee concoctions are far from the daily grind! Unless you like a regular cup of Joe, they have that too!! So if you're in Hatteras, stop in Buxton and give this one-stop shop a gander! You'll fall for it hook, line and sinker!

    Looks like a great spot for fishing gear, but their coffee is terrible. Dillon's corner has a huge…read morebanner out front advertising their espresso bar, so I came in for a coffee. Staff was very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, their coffee was just awful. Their cappuccinos were made with 5oz of "espresso" pulled that is completely over extracted from a pre ground pod, topped with ~2oz of extremely scorched milk. Seriously the worst cappuccino I've ever had. And it was $5 per drink. If you need bait, fishing gear, or anything else, this might be a great spot, but if you see the giant banner advertising their espresso and think of coming for a coffee... steer clear.

We had a party of 9, 7 of us parasailing and 2 observers. Our youngest parasailer was 8 but our 4 year old observer will fly next year! I was a little hesitant about how scary parasailing would be for the littles but it was a calm take off and return, the time up there was peaceful. Captain Pierre gives you the option of dipping your feet in (or more!) and their precision is on point!
