Americans have been vacationing at Nags Head North Carolina since the 1830′s and with very good reason – the beach! The barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks, of which Nags Head is a part, have some of the best beaches in the country.
While walking beside the ocean, you get the feeling that the thin strand of sand goes on forever. (It really stretches 100 miles.) There’s the soothing rhythm of breaking waves on one side and tall sand dunes dotted with sea oats on the other.
The beaches are generally uncrowded and, unlike some coastal areas, they are
very accessible as well. As an added bonus, this is one of the few shore communities I’ve visited where you can actually enjoy a bonfire on the beach. (You do need a permit, though.) All in all, the Outer Banks promise a classic beach experience and a family vacation that all ages will enjoy.
There aren’t many hotels in the area, but most folks prefer to enjoy a Nags Head vacation rental , anyway. A beach house or cottage will let the family spread out, enjoy all the comforts and feel at quite at home. While many resorts demand week long rentals, it’s also possible to rent a place in Nags Head for a shorter getaway. The southern end of town, aptly called South Nags Head, tends to be quieter and less dense than the northern Kill Devil Hills area, where most of the action can be found.
