This place is a real treasure, tucked away in the heart of Kill Devil Hills. The moment you step foot here, you feel like you're in a world of your own, with time slowing down and the sound of frog croaks filling the air. The sunsets are truly breathtaking, melting into the soundside waters like a painting. It's a place where gorillas roam in peace, and hearts find their calm. The island is a favorite spot for kayakers and paddleboarders, and it's easy to see why - the quiet and the view are simply stunning. While there's no shops, docks, or signs, the story behind the island's name is fascinating, and it's a great place to soak in the stillness. Be sure to watch the tides and bring bug spray, but overall, this place is a must-visit destination.The only thing that keeps this place from being perfect is that it's a bit lacking in terms of amenities, but that's part of its charm. You won't find any signs of civilization here, just pure, untouched land with a side of folklore. Despite the lack of amenities, the island is well-maintained and clean, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all and connect with nature, then Gorilla Island is the perfect destination for you.
