An Italian and American restaurant with a huge recreation room including pool tables. 

Have fun golfing and enjoying a host of watersports!

Night climbing starts in June of 2019! FFAP is an Aerial Adventure Park overlooking the beautiful Albemarle Sound. Platforms range from 12 feet to 50 feet high. Climbers take the action into their own hands by choosing to go on the easiest of the courses (Tropical Storm) or going all the way up to the most difficult (Category 5). The platforms are installed on utility poles.  From an aerial view the course looks like outer bands branching out from the central tower, which is the Eye of the Hurricane. There are 6 courses with 7 obstacles on each course. The obstacles are designed around a beach theme using ropes, cables, wood, barrels, stir-ups, and even a hammock. The higher up the central spiral staircase you go, the more difficult the obstacles are. At the end of each course there is a short zip back to the central tower. Have no fear, climbers will be in a harness and on belay for the duration of the climb. Typically climbers will complete 3-4 courses (21-28 obstacles) during the 2 hour climb. Guides take care of the climbers and make sure everyone stays safe!  So bring the whole family and experience and adventure like never before!

If you are looking for some great family fun while taking a break from the beach, don’t miss a visit to Frisco Mini Golf and Go-Karts. Here visitors can choose between two go-kart tracks – one slick track for more advanced drivers and one family track with single and double karts. Kiddie karts are also available for children 5 years old and younger. After racing around the track, head over to the bumper cars and test your driving ability. Riders must be more than 48” and can be any age. No trip to the beach is complete without a round of miniature golf. At Frisco Mini Golf and Go-Karts, golfers can show off their skill with an 18-hole championship course in a natural environment with waterfalls and goldfish ponds. Looking for some food while having all this fun? Head over to the concession stand for your choice of hot dogs, nachos, soft pretzels, chips, cotton candy, snow cones, soft ice cream, milkshakes, drinks and more. Mini Golf is $8 per person and children under six are free. Go-Kart rides are $9 and bumper cars are $5. Kiddie cars are also $5. Gift certificates and a large selection of shirts and sweatshirts with the park’s logo are available on-line. After one visit, you are sure to make this a tradition during every vacation to the Outer Banks. Call for off-season hours.

WHEN IT'S HOT, OUR WATER MISTERS WILL COOL YOU OFF SO YOU WILL ENJOY PLAYING! This is a fun, inexpensive miniature golf course located right across the street from a large beach access—so you can spend all day at the beach, rinse off and go play putt-putt! It has two courses, each with 18 holes. The theme is outer space, with a lava-formed volcano in the center spouting a waterfall. Mixed in nicely with flowers and small trees, you'll encounter spacemen, aliens, a big other-worldly elephant, and various spacecraft throughout the course, which is trimmed with bright colors. So clearly it’s geared for light summertime entertainment, with sea breezes to keep things cool. Cash only.

WHEN IT'S HOT, OUR WATER MISTERS WILL COOL YOU OFF SO YOU WILL ENJOY PLAYING! Mini-golf can be enjoyed here under the shadow of T-Rex and Raptor dinosaurs, depending on which side you choose to play on. Either one has what it takes: 18 hole courses, tropical landscape touches and a playful approach to putt-putt. One sign declares the “Law of the Land,” which includes a warning not to ride, feed or beat the animals. The animals, of course, are oversized sculptures of cartoonish fierce-looking dinosaurs, who guard waterfalls and peek out from ponds and canals. Golfers are also guided to their chosen course by different colored footprints for each monster --- red for T-Rex, yellow for Raptor. The courses are Par 2, easy enough for kids, but still fun enough for the older folks. The view of Manteo and the Roanoke Sound from the course is a bonus.
