The Real McCoy Honey & Pottery
Out of Nags Head, North Carolina, The Real McCoy Honey & Pottery is a bright, welcoming shop where raw local honey sits beside handmade pottery and beeswax candles. The real draw is the tasting bar, where Matt the owner guides you through the flavors, including fall honey, lemon honey, and a ginger whipped honey, plus a cinnamon honey that locals swear by. People love that the shop lets you taste before you buy, making each jar feel earned. Besides honey, you’ll find infused varieties, gift baskets, and an array of pottery from local artists, all made to gift or keep for yourself. Purchases happen on-site in Nags Head or online through the Square store with pickup or shipping. Regulars pop in for the raw honey and handmade goods, and some even ship jars to family year after year. It’s the kind of place where you walk out with something memorable and a story to tell about North Carolina’s beekeeping scene.
