Tortugas' Lie

Nestled among the dunes of the Outer Banks town of Nags Head, you'll find a delicious slice of the Caribbean known as Tortugas' Lie. Founded in 1989, Tortugas' is home to some of the beach's finest fare, from mouthwatering appetizers to dinners and desserts so delicious you can't help but come back again and again. We feature local seafood, pasta, burgers, vegetarian fare, steamers and more.


A great menu is only the beginning of what makes Tortugas' Lie so special. Why not c'mon in and see exactly why this quaint, little Outer Banks restaurant of ours is not only a locals' favorite, but the destination for hungry vacationers year after year. We were voted #1 seafood dive in NC by Coastal Living Magazine and featured on the Food Network's Triple D with Guy Fieri.
