Nags Head is part of North Carolina's outer banks. It is surrounded on both sides by water, so it is the perfect vacation for beach bums like myself, as well as anyone who enjoys fishing, crabbing, boating and seafood. The outer banks are full of history for any history buffs, and there are 4 lighthouses on the islands.
