South Nags Head is a great area. The area is quite and is within walking distance of the beach.
Things to do that are close by....
Jockey’s Ridge: The huge sand dune is a great place to walk up to the top. It is very popular for sunsets as the sun appears to set on the water of the sound. Also a big kite flying place and hang gliding.
Party/Head Boats: There are at least two head boats that will take you out for a half day fishing in the inlet. It costs about $45-$60 a person and they give you the rods and bait (squid only). You may want to bring some fresh shrimp to increase your fishing chances. You can bring a cooler, lunch and drink.
1) Ms Broad Creek Head Boat. 708 Harbor Rd, Wachese NC 252-473-9991. If you don’t catch much. O’Neils take out is in the same marina.
2) Ms Oregon Inlet Head Boat. 98 NC 12 Hwy Nags Head, NC 252 564-7905
3) There may be a head boat at Pirates Cove as well, but I don’t have that info. They all go to the inlet.
Other fun things: Jet Skis, Go-Karts, Putt-Putt, Lost Colony Outdoor Play, Manteo Waterfront, Manteo Aquarium, The decks underneath the Bridge to Manteo (turn down the road across from Pirates Cove), Manteo WWI open cockpit plane rides over the beach, Pirates Cove Marina, Walk out on Jennette’s Fishing Pier/Gift Shop, the new Adventure park ropes course (many stories high climbing course) it is right next to the outlet mall at MP 16. Closed toed shoes and nerves of steel required.
