Beach Books (NC)

I was surprised and delighted to find so many good books in this quaint local bookstore in the middle of a bustling tourist attraction. I made a day trip from Nags Head to Duck and Corolla, and spotted this bookstore. To my amazement, it had lots of recent and current best sellers as well as historical and classic reads. I was most excited about a book on the Romanovs and Russian (Bolshevik) Revolution, as I had just finished another book on the Romanovs two days before. They had all of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novels and the cover of Tender is the Night that I’ve been searching for. I grabbed a couple Greek mythology books, Arabian Nights, and The Yellow Wallpaper as well. There were a couple other books I wish I’d bought. They also have cute cat/book totes in case you can’t carry all the books you buy. I’m admiring my Beach Book haul now. It was a success! Thank you, Beach Books!

Unique selection for a small shop, and I loved that they also had puzzles. I picked up a classic for some beach reading and a fun Gatsby-themed puzzle to take home. The staff was friendly and helpful. A nice little spot to browse if you're in the area.

I look forward to coming here every year! I love it so much, they always have the books I am looking for, and the service is impeccable! 10/10 recommend!!!

I got all of the books I wanted and a few on my TBR. The owner was nice enough to reach out to his wife and ask her questions for me regarding Freida McFadden. He even looked for authors that I am interested in to see if his distributor had their books. My friend and I were so excited and pleasantly surprised because we missed this bookstore last year. I look forward to visiting Beach Books next year.
