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.

Mia's Boutique Hotel

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our third year at Mia’s (now an annual family tradition!) and it never disappoints. Everything about Mia’s makes for the ideal Outer Banks experience: - Clean, safe, & centrally located. - Laid-back motel-style stay with just the right “frills” like in-room kitchens, beach view options, etc. - Nearby beach, dining, boating, grocery, 4x4, fishing, hang gliding, etc. - Clean, safe, & friendly environment. - VERY pet friendly Every year, we notice new improvements to the property and guest experience (whether it’s new decking on the oceanfront rooms, fresh paint, clever and adorable branded beach & “makeup” towels, improved waterproofing in the walk-in showers, new appliances, etc.). The owners and management are obviously constantly taking feedback and working to maintain and improve the property as a long-term business. Sean, Valerie, & Leo are all great to deal with each year. The whole team (including housekeeping who unfortunately I don’t know the names of) are always accommodating and helpful, and I can’t say enough about the comfort and convenience of staying here. Top tips: Enter this property with the right mindset (for example: expect friendly responsive service when you request extra coffee/toiletries if needed, not a bell hop/butler waiting on your every need), grab groceries to enjoy the comfort of your own kitchen, walk to Whalebone for fresh seafood and Cahoons Market for any groceries you forgot, and ENJOY THE BEACH! Thanks, Mia’s! See you again soon!"

Surf Side Hotel

Surf Side Hotel

8/10 Good
"Jason on reception was very helpful and guest friendly. Loved the amenities and being on the beach. Breakfast, wine social and cookies were awesome.....things like these really made our stay that bit more special. Room was clean and well decorated. Our only "room for improvement" would be that due to the humidity ( i realise its the beach in summer) but the room did smell very moldy and the wall behind the air conditioner was soft and caving. The outdoor pool could have been vacuumed out to since there was a lot of sand in it. These small things would not stop me staying here again as the pluses outweighed the minuses."
