Learn more about Nags Head

Towering sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge State Park create a desert-like playground where hang gliders launch into the Atlantic breeze. The black-and-white spiral of Bodie Island Lighthouse stands sentinel over the coastline, offering panoramic views for those willing to climb. Fishing enthusiasts cast lines from Jennette's Pier, extending 1,000 feet into waters where stories of the catch grow with each telling. At Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, charter captains compete for who can find the best offshore spots. The beaches themselves star in this Outer Banks town, where wild horses occasionally appear like apparitions from pirate legends. After sunset, seafood restaurants serve the day's catch while locals share tales of shipwrecks visible just offshore during particularly low tides.

"Amazing location, the hotel was great however in order to get any hot water it had to be set at the lowest possible water pressure which was not great. The proximity to the ocean was unbeatable as was the proximity to restaurants. It was very clean."

8/10 Good
"Loved the location and the staff! Cottage is across the street from the beach and Jennette's Pier! Great check-in process, very quick & budget friendly. Mgr was very helpful with tips & things to do in the local area. Very cute cottage and enjoyed the kitchen with full fridge with oven and microwave. I was able to cook my own meals and make coffee in the keurig. Wood floor was clean but did have dark streaks from people coming in with luggage. Shower had some mold on the shower corner but nothing big. The a/c kept the room cool but it did ice up and was sometimes loud. There's a door in the kitchen separating the units. Loud conversations can carry and you may be able to hear your neighbors. I loved the area and the cottages are charming. Enjoyed parking in front of the cottage. I'd definitely stay again!"

The First Colony Inn

8/10 Good
"This is a charming old inn in a convenient location. It doesn’t have many amenities but it was fine for the price. It was very convenient to have a code for the rooms as opposed to a key. There was coffee on site but not breakfast. We found out on our second day that we could get a voucher for breakfast at a local restaurant. I wish I had known the first morning we were there. The rooms are small but fine for 2 days. The bed wasn’t very comfortable, but we really enjoyed staying there."

"The good part is the pool and proximity to the beach. It’s a motel but I think they could fix things like cracks and stains so it looks basic but not unkept. Could use a modern refresh. It’s not for anyone who expects the hotel experience"
