We’ve changed our nighttime look along the Nags Head oceanfront skyline. The pier now features Wildlife Friendly Lighting that emits an amber color instead of white, ultimately creating less light pollution.
“This specific color temperature is far less disruptive to insects, bats, birds, and most importantly along the oceanfront, sea turtles,” Remige said. “It also reduces eye strain for people, better preserving our night vision.”

Today's lunch specials! Debbie missed us so our backyard is wide open and we have Andy Frasco, a national act, on the main stage tonight as the official Vusic After Party. Doors open at 9:00pm.
