Save your money The fudge at Forbes is disgusting. It is the grainiest fudge that I have ever had the misfortune to eat. Four different flavors and every one had the exact same problem. You could add sand to the candy and never even notice it. It was not cooked to the proper temperature and it was not tempered properly. Hands down the worst part of the vacation.

Traditional souvenier shop, but a bit old fashioned Forbes is known for their fudge and other assortments of candy, and they do have a small souvenier selection as well. This location offers a variety of small souveniers, but not a lot of clothing. Head here for the CANDY part of their name.

"The" Place to get Salt Water Taffy and other confections Forbes Candy has a goodly number of stores on the Outer Banks and is still growing. They carry assorted confections, such as salt water taffy, varieties of fudge and a good selection of chocolates - both regular and sugar free. Their prices are modest. They have some interesting and unique candies as well.

Great for candy, so-so for gifts For fudge, taffy and other sweets, Forbes is one of the best on the beach. A wide variety of flavors and sizes means something for everyone, and they even have gift boxes. However, don't be misled by the "gifts" part of their name---a few shirts and some random beach toys are about all they offer in that department. It's definately worth a stop for their treats, bt save souveneir shopping for somewhere else.
