This is a month for romance and that feeling is permeating throughout the White Doe Inn, with fireplaces glowing and cozy dinners in the Dining Room.
February is also a great time for exploring all there is to see and do here on the Outer Banks—from nature to culture to good old-fashioned cooking. So grab your calendar and plan a visit soon.
Dinner for two
Dinner at the White Doe Inn is an intimate setting where you can have a quiet conversation, soft music, candlelight, fine china and linens, and an exquisite menu paired with wine. During the month of February we’ll be offering a very special four-course menu including roasted beet salad with goat cheese or crab and clam chowder; roast tenderloin of beef, sesame-seared tuna, blueberry-bourbon grilled pork chop; and a luscious finale of cherries and chocolate.
Dinners are $65/person and include a champagne toast; wine is also available. Reservations are required: 252-473-9851.
To add even more romance to the evening, plan to stay in one of the White Doe Inn’s luxurious rooms. Each room features a cozy fireplace and many have jacuzzis or soaking tubs. Call for reservations or check availability and book your stay online.
A place for bird lovers
The peaceful, setting of Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge* is a wintering habitat for migratory birds, such as snow geese, and a wonderful place to spend a day. Established in 1938 to provide an area for nesting and resting, the Refuge is a stopping point for waterfowl, shorebirds, wading birds, raptors and neotropical migrants. Visitors can enjoy Bird Walks on Pea Island Friday mornings year-round, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. There are also two wildlife trails that are open daily from dawn to dusk.
*NOTE: Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is closed during the government shutdown. Please check with website for up-to-date information.
Love ala Shakespeare
It may be the heart of winter, but February is a perfect month for Theatre of Dare’s presentation, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, February 24 to March 3, 2019 at the Festival Park Indoor Theater in Manteo. This madcap Shakespeare romance takes place in a forest and includes a queen of the Amazons, Athenian lovers and a band of scheming fairies. Great fun, indeed!

Baby, it’s chili!
Do you make a knock-your-socks-off chili? Then sign up for the Annual Chili Cook-Off at Stripers Bar and Grille, February 17, 2019. The tasty affair is a fundraiser for the benefit of the Outer Banks SPCA, and a haven for good chili cooks along the coast.
