Encompassing 426 acres in Nags Head, Jockey's Ridge State Park boasts the highest natural sand dune system in eastern America. In addition to admiring the impressive dunes, visitors can fly kites, go birdwatching, watch the sunset over the sound, and stroll along the nature trails that crisscross the park. Overnight camping is not permitted in the park, but visitors are welcome to relax at one of the park's beautiful and well-maintained picnic areas during the day. The park is open every day except Christmas Day, and there is no admission fee.
