Review:

Jockey's Ridge State Park in the popular Outer Banks town of Nags Head encompasses more than four hundred acres and is home to the eastern United States region’s tallest active system of sand dunes. The day-use popular park is made up of three different ecosystems: the maritime forest, the sand dune system, and Roanoke Sound. There is no charge for admission and Jockey's Ridge State Park is open every day of the year with the exception of Christmas Day. Ranger-led programs are offered throughout the year and there is also a visitor center with a boardwalk and museum.
