Although Nags Head will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, its roots are far older. Arguably North Carolina’s first vacation destination, visitors have been coming here to get away from it all since the 1830’s. You’ll be happy to know accommodations have come a long way since the first “Banker’s” arrived here though!
Nags Head Beach Homes
The traditional tiny Nags Head beach cottage has morphed into spectacular oceanfront vacation rental homes capable of accommodating several families. Many of which boast private pools, hot tubs, and other luxuries that make vacationing here pure pleasure. Not traveling with 20 of your closest family and friends? Don’t worry, small cottages, condominiums, and townhomes are still popular here as well and offer an ambience all their own. Furry friends are welcome throughout Nags Head as long as they are leashed so don’t be afraid to ask for pet friendly accommodations when you plan your stay.
Beginning at mile post 10 and running through mile post 21, Nags Head is home to much more than luxury vacation homes and wide sandy beaches. Most notably of course is Jockey’s Ridge State Park where you will find the east coast’s largest sand dune. Boasting breathtaking views of the ocean and sound as well as an educational visitor’s center, classes, sound access, and even hang gliding lessons, no Nags Head vacation would be complete without a visit here!
