Step into the enchanting world of Sandy Claw’s Pop-Up Christmas Bar! (Formally know as Blue Crab Tavern). Our doors are open daily, from 1 pm to 11 pm, throughout the holiday season. Immerse yourself in the cozy warmth of our nightly outdoor Yule Log fire and indulge in delicious Christmas S'mores (weather permitting). On Thursdays through Saturdays, satisfy your taste buds with yummy food from Street Eats Latin Fusion Trailer. Inside, you'll find a special soda and hot cocoa bar that's bound to put a smile on the kids' faces. Capture the magic of the season with a cherished photo opportunity - Santa Claus awaits, seated on his majestic throne every Tuesday and Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm. Weekends are filled with the joy of live music. And on Sundays, don't miss our exclusive Sandy Claws Toy Chest, where children can select a complimentary toy to take home as a treasured keepsake. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, as we welcome donations to support local charities, including the Beach Food Pantry, Outer Banks Community Foundation, and the Colington Volunteer Fire Department.

Your presence will make the season even brighter. Have yourself a Merrytime Christmas at Sandy Claws!
