According to local legend, the town was named “Nags Head” because early inhabitants would put a lantern around a horse’s neck and parade the horse up and down the beach. The bobbing light would resemble the light of a nearby ship at sea, tricking actual ships into venturing closer to the shoreline. When the ships ran aground in the shallow shoals off the coast, local Outer Bankers would climb aboard and collect valuables from the wrecked ships.
Today, Nags Head is one of the most developed areas of the Outer Banks, with a wide array of opportunities for shopping, dining and recreational activities to enjoy.
Towering above the town is Jockey's Ridge State Park—the tallest natural sand dune system in the Eastern United States. Visitors can hike to the top of the dune to take in spectacular 360-degree views that include Nags Head, the Atlantic Ocean, the Roanoke Sound and the nearby town of Manteo. Watching the sun sink into the sound from the top of Jockey’s Ridge is an activity that should not be missed on your trip to the Outer Banks!
