Nags Head

As the story goes, the nag had a lantern tied to its neck and would walk from the bottom to the top of the dunes and back down again to mimic a ship at sea! Surely the ocean-going ship would get too close to shore and wreck! Nags Head remains a favorite with many. Whether you want to play golf at the Village of Nags Head, hang glide, kayak, jet ski, fish, go cart, seafood festival in October, or fly a kite, this town is meant for summer families! Historic row oceanfront ceder- shake cottages harken to a time when staff was brought with owners. Aside from that, there are cottages, condos, co-ownerships, permanent as well as frequent rental homes in this area. The visitors here and within the lower beaches often can be seen vacationing in the November season as well.
