Washington has a rich cultural heritage that spans over two centuries and throughout the years has been home to countless merchants, each with their own unique offerings. That curious spirit continues today. Eclectic shops, boutiques and restaurants line the historic waterfront district and offer a wide range of antiques, curiosities, and authentic southern cuisine that just can't be found anywhere else on the Inner Banks (perhaps the world).

Try a world famous Bill's hot dog while taking a stroll on the waterfront or find that perfect gift before an evening of elegant dining at the Curiosity Shoppe. Whether you're interested in just popping in for a day trip or planning a weekend getaway, there's always something to do at the heart of the Inner Banks.
