Review:
Nags Head Beach is one of the Outer Banks' top tourist destinations, located within the laid-back beach town of Kitty Hawk, best known as the site of the Wright Brothers' historic 1903 airplane flight. The charming beachfront offers attractions to suit all visitors' tastes, from boutiques, restaurants, and museums within the city's downtown district to maritime forests and trails within nearby Jockey's Ridge State Park.
The city's spacious beachfront is a popular spot for kiteboarding, kayaking, and swimming, with pier fishing offered at the newly-remodeled Jennette's Pier, which is also home to a youth educational center and museum offering educational programming during the summer months. Go-kart tracks, miniature golf courses, and ice cream parlors will keep young ones entertained, with a number of movie theaters and the only bowling alley in the Outer Banks located nearby.
