Nags Head, NC
Nags Head is considered a beach town on the Outer Banks of the East coast, and it’s a group of barrier islands that are tucked in between the mainland of North Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s well known for the sand dunes in Jockey Ridge State Park, which include the tallest existing sand dune systems on the East Coast.
Hundreds of shipwrecks nearby, caused by the region’s shifting sands and heavily trafficked waters, have given the waters in the area the nickname: “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” The nearby USS Huron is also a popular scuba diving site if you’re the adventuring type.
