The Galleon Esplanade was a beloved shopping and dining destination in Nags Head, North Carolina, during the 1970s and early 1980s. Located at the corner of Baltic Avenue and the Beach Road, it was the brainchild of entrepreneur George Crocker, who also established the adjacent Cabana East Motel and a local potato chip factory. ​ The centerpiece of the Esplanade was The Galleon, a two-story clothing store renowned for its quality merchandise and distinctive interior, which featured a waterfall beneath the staircase leading to the second floor. The complex also housed a variety of specialty shops, including a toy store, housewares, and jewelry boutiques, all arranged around a charming courtyard.
