Steeped in history, Nags Head, North Carolina is the place for a traditional family vacation. In addition to the beaches, enjoy bike & jogging trails, 2 fishing piers, and the widest variety of restaurants on the Outer Banks.
Just south of Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head was the first vacation resort on the Outer Banks, dating back to the 1830s. Because the area is so well known, many people mistakenly use the term “Nags Head” to refer to the entire Outer Banks.
