Can't-Miss Things to Do on Your Outer Banks Vacay

02 Jockey Ridge

Jockey Ridge State Park on Nags Head is home to the tallest living dune system on the East Coast. You'll find sweeping panoramic views of Roanoke Sound and the Atlantic Ocean here. At Jockey Ridge, you can stroll along the nature trail and boardwalk or get your adrenaline pumping by hang gliding or flying a replica of the Wright Brothers glider from 1902. This park is also a great place for kids, especially if they like hunting for beach glass.
