Southern Shores is the high-end residential and rental hub of the northern Outer Banks. Because of its location, it has become a strategic point for hemp shops. You'll find a high concentration of quality stores that cater to both long-term residents and the massive summer tourist population.
Unlike the denser strip in Kill Devil Hills, the shops here are slightly more spread out. This means shorter lines and a more unhurried shopping experience. If you're looking for the absolute best THCA flower, you'll find a few boutique shops here that specialize in \"top-shelf\" cultivars.

Best for THCA Flower
The selection of high-potency THCA at Southern Shores shops often rivals KDH. Look for curated boutique brands in the smaller shops.
Best for Convenience
Because it's a primary transit corridor, Southern Shores shops are the easiest to access if you're staying in the beach rentals between KDH and Duck.
