Nags Head is a historic beach town located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Established in the 1830s, this coastal community is known for its rich maritime heritage and distinctive landscape characterized by sand dunes, including Jockey's Ridge, the tallest living sand dune system in the eastern United States.
The town's name reportedly originates from a colonial practice of tying lanterns to horses' necks to lure ships to shore. Throughout its history, Nags Head has transformed from a remote fishing village into a significant cultural and recreational destination while maintaining its connection to coastal traditions. The area's cultural landscape includes historic cottages featuring the unique "Unpainted Aristocracy" architectural style, reflecting the town's legacy as one of the earliest tourist destinations on the Outer Banks.
