About Nags Head


Welcome to the heart of North Carolina’s Outer Banks! The popularity of Nags Head as an ideal vacation destination reaches as far back as the mid-1800s when just one hotel and a handful of cottages dotted the landscape from the sound side to the sea.


The Town of Nags Head now stretches from Milepost 10 to 22. Northern Nags Head offers great variety in activities, shopping, restaurants and well-appointed communities, oceanfront to sound front, like Old Nags Head Place at Milepost 12 and The Village at Nags Head at Milepost 15. The area south of Milepost 16.5 known as South Nags Head is primarily residential and backs up to Pea Island Wildlife Refuge, allowing a feeling of being away from it all yet within minutes of the action. The Town of Nags Head has over 30 public beach accesses, some with parking and ten with lifeguard stands. There are several sound-side water access points.  


Jockey’s Ridge, the largest living sand dune on the East Coast, is the crowning jewel of Nags Head. Learn how to fly a hang glider, explore the wildlife, or see how fast you can run down the tallest dune! Nags Head also offers three piers, wonderful wide beaches, the Nags Head Golf Links, many putt-putt courses, and plenty of choices for restaurants and shopping. Many Nags Head homes offer access to the Outer Banks Family YMCA near milepost 11. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our experienced local team for help finding the perfect Nags Head vacation rental for your trip!
