Have rented a Hatteras cabana for a week and wondered where best place to pick up essentials ie milk, bread, etc on way there in case late arriving. Also wondering if any of the bakeries in area sell bread and best place to buy fresh fruit and veggies.
Where to buy groceries?
Not sure of Bread but Lee Robinson General store is a gourmet store they might have it but they have most every thing else also but a little pricey Burris Red and White that is probably closer. But for most stuff I would stop in food lion in Avon they have the best variety and prices there is also another small one in Frisco too Next to Frisco Rod and gun

Oh No May west or Poutine down here you need to bring them from homes LOL
If you have any question on driving down here you can take a look at this site and click on getting there from the north.
Personally I would take 81 to avoid tolls on 95 and a lot of congestion in the DC area . we cross at 1000 islands when we head up to Canada and it is interstate all the way to Va before you get off.

Thank you - have posted from time to time in last couple of years and finally going to make it this year. I will stick with 81 as you note and enjoy some of the scenery on way down.
Having returned from week there will answer my own question - found Connors in Buxton best option for groceries and didn%26#39;t discover any great bread options but liked baked goods (even if expensive) at bakery at Hatteras Landing.
Skip the Food Lion in Avon. Drive a little further north in Avon and you will see the Village Grocery. They are excellent with a great variety for a small grocer. Food Lion may be a little cheaper but they are always very crowded and quality of meats is very questionable. If you plan to buy seafood, do so at one of the seafood markets in Avon.
Agree about skipping the Food Lion which altho bigger did not have same feeling of freshness as Connors. I also recommend picking up some fresh produce from some of the farmstands on way there. The NC strawberries were out I noticed on drive there but no sign of local ones on Hatteras Island.
