About Nags Head

A classic, deeply rooted Outer Banks town, Nags Head encompasses Jennettes Pier, Nags Head Pier, Coquina Beach, and the historic Bodie Island Lighthouse. It is beloved for walking near the iconic fishing piers, surf casting, searching for colorful coquina shells, and watching dolphin pods play offshore. Knowing the tide schedule drastically improves surf casting success; a rising high tide pushes deep, clean ocean water directly against the steep beach drop-offs, bringing massive red drum and striped bass within easy casting distance of the shore.
