US-17 Brunswick County Rest Area - Highway Rest Areas on Waymarking.com

This rest area acts as both a convenient rest area, but also as a entryway on the edge of the town of Shallotte. The unique layout allows both momentary pull offs with spaced parallel parking along the main drive, but also a dedicated parking section for those who wish to stop and use the rest area's facilities.

Of note, this locale features a few covered picnic shelters . A screen of trees blocks the view of the highway, allowing a more restful view. Things are spaced out enough so that visitors are not overcrowded.

In the north section of the rest area is the visitor center proper. It features vending machines, restrooms, and information. The exterior features a few more points of interest - a pollinator garden, as well as a dog exercise area and a Blue Star memorial.

Adjacent to the rest area are several places of note. There is a gas station just on the left after pulling out, as well as several fast food locations. Beyond, the city of Shallotte lies within easy access along all three available routes.
