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.

Seahorse Inn and Cottages

8/10 Good
"It was my third time staying at this hotel. All in all it’s a great location. In walking distance to the pier, small grocery store, directly in front of hotel, and a very short walk to the best breakfast in Nagshead. The only real complaint I have is the person above my room stomping around hours in the evening and hours in the morning. Will never stay there again if I can’t get a room without someone above me."

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"
