PROFILE
A Happy Business
Big Buck's Ice Cream Has Been Serving up Smiles to OBX Visitors for 30 Years
Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parents’ shop. She loved being part of what she calls a happy business. In 1994 Belinda opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s ice cream in the brand-new TimBuck II shopping center in Corolla.
Belinda says, “I love it when people come into the shop, and are handed something sweet and it makes them smile. That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”
Big Buck’s homemade ice cream is the perfect blend of Italian gelateria flavors and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became the popular place that it is today.
During the development of the ice cream flavors Belinda also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. She brought the chocolate making experience right back with her and the result was the finest quality chocolate on the Outer Banks.
After her huge success in the TimBuck II store, Belinda was able to open up three more locations: Kitty Hawk, Manteo, and Duck. This summer, 2023, a fifth location will be opening in Corolla. “I love that our customers line up outside the door for us, they know we’re always consistent in our homemade ice creams and they’re coming back to a happy atmosphere every time.”
Recent Reviews from TripAdvisor
"Big Buck's Ice Cream is definitely homemade, and delicious to boot! Even members in our family who aren't ice cream fans loved this cold dairy treat. We came here two separate times during our week vacation to Corolla, Outer Banks, and wished we had gone every night in between"
"Great Ice cream in the heart of TimBuck II shopping center. Stays open later then most of the other ice cream places in the area and it's nice to get a scoop and walk around in the shops. Ice cream is a bit on the pricey side but overall pretty decent and generous with the portions. Highly recommended. Great Homemade Icecream!
"I am not really into ice cream, but when I walk in here I want to try it all! I ordered the frozen caramel cappuccino and it was amazing. they put whipped topping on and a white chocolate wafer. My girlfriend is in love with the frozen strawberry lemonade (dairy free) and she said it was the BEST lemonade she has ever had"
"Big Buck's has one of the best homemade ice creams I have ever tasted. My two favorites were the Banana Peanut Butter Swirl and the Peanut Butter and Cookies. Located in the Timbuk II shopping center it is a great place to visit after a long day of shopping or after eating atone of the restaurants located there"

Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream your Sweet Tooth Station Sensation!
Forget Hawaii and California - on the East Coast, the best place for surf is on the Outer Banks, and this region is renowned as one of the best surfing destinations from New York to Florida. Surfers from all over the country and the world flock to the Outer Banks for the annual ESA tournament, or just after a storm swell, to paddle out to the Atlantic and enjoy some of the best waves on the coast.
While several of the Outer Banks' most popular sports seemingly flew onto the scene in the past decade or two, like kiteboarding or stand up paddle boarding (SUP), windsurfing has been drawing water sports lovers to the North Carolina coast for nearly fifty years. In essence, windsurfing can pride itself as being the Outer Bank's oldest, and one of its most beloved sound-based sports, and everyone from seasoned riders to windsurfing newcomers can catch an exceptional ride.
