A place like no other near Outer Banks in North Carolina
Nags Head is a popular destination known for its beautiful ocean and exciting attractions. One of the must-visit places here is Jockey’s Ridge State Park, where you’ll find the tallest sand dune along the Atlantic coast. It’s a great spot to unleash your inner adventurer and try exhilarating activities like hang gliding lessons or flying a replica of the Wright Brothers’ 1902 glider, offered by Kitty Hawk Kites. If you prefer a more relaxed day, you can indulge in the simple joy of flying a kite (remember to bring your own). Nature lovers will also appreciate the park’s numerous trails that invite you to explore. Keep an eye out for a fascinating natural phenomenon called fulgurites - these are glass tubes formed when lightning strikes the sand.
A trip to the park is an amazing adventure for everyone in the family, according to recent travelers. They mention that from the top of the sand dunes, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. To make the most of your visit and avoid the intense midday heat, it’s suggested by reviewers to plan your trip for the morning or towards the end of the park’s operating hours.
