Review:

Nags Head is one of the more developed areas on the Outer Banks. Here, visitors can experience the natural beauty of the Outer Banks yet still have easy access to amenities such as restaurants, mini golf, and shopping. The Bodie Island Lighthouse is not far from Nags Head, and visitors can climb to the top during the summer.

The historical Jennette’s Pier is located nearby as well. The pier offers a good location to fish as well as a small, kid-friendly museum. One of the most popular attractions in Nags Head is Jockey’s Ridge State Park, which is a popular place for hang-gliding, sand-castle-building contests, and scenic hikes.
