Nags Head Outer Banks Vacations
Welcome to Nags Head, an area of North Carolina’s Outer Banks known for its beaches yet rich in history and steeped in tradition.
This site is designed to provide all the information you need to know while visiting the area about the attractions, activities, restaurants, shops and accommodations. Nags Head continues to lure visitors more than 150 years after the first vacationer set foot on these shores.
Naturally the beach is the greatest attraction Nags Head has to offer, and vacationers take full advantage of all it by swimming, surfing, sunning and beachcombing. But, overall, the area is a recreation wonderland that reaches from beneath the ocean waves into the blue skies. Whether you’re seeking sun, fun and thrills as an single adventurer or as a family, a great time awaits you in Nags Head. Snorkel famous shipwrecks, sail sound waters, kayak rolling waves or soar over Jockey’s Ridge in a hang glider. Witness wildlife through dolphin watches or by wetting a fishing line. Or if you enjoy more low key activities you can bike or walk the town bike path or travel along a wooded trail.
A Nags Head vacation experience offers a blend of the old with the new. Visitors still can revel in timeworn traditions while enjoying a host of modern-day comforts. Whether you’re after a barefooted retreat or an elegant sojourn, you’ll find helpful ingredients within these pages to create the perfect visit.
