Great OBX stop with friendly locals giving great advice about the area. Wish I had bought a t-shirt from there

We stopped to air up after the beach and it was extremely convenient. My wife went in and grabbed a few snacks and she said the cashier was very nice and polite. This will definitely be a stop every time we come back to OBX!!! read more

It the only gas station/grocery store/everything store in Salvo. We found enough to last us a day or two, before needing a grocery run to the Food Lion in Avon. The ice cream selection was great when we went for an evening walk to watch the sunset and get an after dinner treat! read more

Heading to Hatteras or Buxton and you just realized you left your beach chair, bread, chips, TP, nail clippers, and your tanks low. Well take a left off of highway 12 and stop at the Blue Whale. Grab everything you need and then some. If they don't have it they'll tell you where it is. Support local business. read more

Wake N Bake breakfast burrito is mandatory when I'm in Salvo. Love the Blue Whale! Will return anytime I'm in Salvo.

Nice convenient store on Rt. 12 with a little of everything for all your beach vacation needs! They have beer and wine, some staple groceries, snacks, and some local foods too. It's also a bait shop for you fisher folk! There's a souvenir/gift shop in the back - magnets, postcards, towels, boogie boards, sunglasses, etc. We bought a super nice, sturdy beach chair!! Cowabunga dude! Surf's up!! read more

Bustling store filled with everything from fishing tackle to coffee filters, t-shirts to frozen food, and everything in between. Quite a collection of regional newspapers delivered daily, too, for those who must have their hometown news in print. Reasonable prices on the store items and on the gasoline. Reminds one of the general stores/outposts from "Back in the Day!" The Blue Whale is a landmark on the island. read more

Great convince stop for your grocery needs and gas. They also have a cute area for T-shirt's, gifts, and pool/beach toys.

This was the closest convenience store to our stay in OBX. Ended up coming to it every single day of our trip to pick up beer, groceries, ice, etc. Huge fan of the blue whale. Helpful friendly staff. Only complaint is that they mainly only carry 12's of beer and do run out of certain things. But it's just the nature of a low key small town it seems. read more

Best food breakfast burrito ever!!! The lady checking us out was so sweet and beyond nice. Found some awesome hot sauces and cool socks too. The place was like a warm smile. read more

The Blue Whale - Breakfast burrito - Grocery Near Me - Salvo, North Carolina

Overpriced and the woman with the short hair behind the counter was incredibly rude. The employees were not wearing masks. I love supporting local businesses, but I will not spend money in this business. read more

my favor "has it all gas station and connivence store" since 2003 always polite and friendly if you need it that have it, it they do not you really did not need it anyway they even have stuff you did not know you needed make this your 1st and only stop for anything you forgot or ran out of read more

They'll have basically everything you need and the people are super sweet. And they have a cool hot sauce collection! However, you're going to spend some money here! Its certainly pricey. Liberty is almost half the price for certain products! read more

For a convenience store you wont be let down it has a little bit of everything to keep you going on vacation.

Perfect convenience store for that quick one sundry that was left behind. In our case it was cream cheese and plastic wrap.. expect to pay convenience store prices. Staff was very friendly and enjoyable. read more

Great corner store/gas station. Large variety of items including beer, snacks, cooking supplies (saved us in a pinch when we realized we forgot to pack all of our spices and cooking extras) they have a small souvenir shop, free air pump for tires and Ben and Jerry's ice cream. (Another life savor when you have tired kids and the ice cream shop is closed) we are very pleased with this establishment and its easy access location. Thank you blue whale. read more

A friendly grocery store that is an oasis of supplies in an otherwise beach-themed set of businesses nestled along state highway 12. While they are not a large grocery store, you can save yourself the time of driving miles north or south to larger grocery stores and try Blue Whale first - you'll save time and still get most of what you need. read more

Wonderful little store! You can gas up your vehicle, pump up your tires (for free), buy staples and fixings for dinner, bait and fishing supplies, a daily newspaper, and a souvenir t-shirt all in one place. Friendly, efficient service too! read more

Great little grocery store. Has everything you need while at the beach. I'd give this place more than 5 stars if I could
