If being near the birthplace of aviation inspires you, travel the coast of the Outer Banks a couple miles south to Nags Head. Vacationing in one of the luxurious home in Nags Head will not only give you access to miles of sensational public beaches, but put you right near Jockey’s Ridge State Park where you can take flight by trying out hang gliding. If soaring through the wind isn’t your thing, stay on land and take a stroll through a park or a wooded trail, saunter down the coast beachcombing for shells, or take a bike ride through the town bike path. Plenty of water fun awaits you as well, whether snorkeling to see the famous shipwrecks, kayaking the waves, or just wading in the rolling surf.
