South Nags Head puts you in a quieter pocket of the Outer Banks with all the classics within easy reach. Nags Head Golf Links is about 7 minutes away. Jennette’s Pier is just down the road for fishing and walking. Head north a bit to Jockey’s Ridge State Park — the tallest active sand dune system on the East Coast, perfect for hang gliding, sandboarding, or watching the sunset. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is in the neighborhood for a quick history stop, and Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is right there for birdwatchers.
For food, the local fish markets are a must — Billy’s Seafood Market in Kill Devil Hills and Whalebone Seafood Market in Nags Head are local favorites for fresh-off-the-boat catches. Outlets Nags Head handles shopping, and dining options range from casual seafood shacks to upscale spots with ocean or sound views. One more bonus: Nags Head is one of the more dog-friendly beach towns on the Outer Banks.
