Nags Head Vacation Rentals

Nags Head is the largest town on North Carolina's Outer Banks (land-wise) and is located on a barrier island. It is known for having the largest living sand dune on the east coast which is continually changing due to wind and erosion. Jockey's Ridge is that large sand dune that you can climb to the top and see both the Roanoke Sound and the Atlantic Ocean at the same time. It's a popular place for hang gliding and kite flying as well.

Nags Head has a history of being a much-loved vacationers' paradise, and the sentiment is as true today as it was in the mid-1800s. There is never a lack of activity to do in Nags Head. The town of Nags Head includes some famous Outer Banks attractions, restaurants, shopping, wildlife, and fabulous beaches. Often you will hear non-locals refer to the Outer Banks as "Nags Head" even though they may actually be in another town! Read More
