Nags Head

Once a place for land pirates to hide out in the high sand dunes and lure unsuspecting ships ashore during storms at sea, Nags Head later became known as a fine resort area in the nineteenth century.
Today, vacation homes and rentals surround beautiful Jocky Ridge State Park, a 420 acre natural area in the center of Nags Head, and travelers are lured by its sandy beaches, nature trails, wildlife refuges, historic sites, and sports that include golf and world-class fishing.
Pirate legacy lives on too, with shipwreck remains, and tales of Blackbeard and other sea-faring miscreants.
