Located in Nags Head is the largest sand dune on the East Coast, Jockey's Ridge. The sand dune has migrated over the years from wind and erosion, and has buried a miniature golf course along the way. A castle is still visible and is a major landmark. There is also a buried hotel. The area surrounding Jockey's Ridge is good for biking, or hiking. Jockey's Ridge has been popular with Hang-gliders since the advent of the sport, as well as kite flyers and sand gliders. The Ridge includes an informative museum with exhibits on sand, weather, and area animals. The creatures outside are numerous and includes bird species, foxes, mice, squirels, occasional deer and friendly wild rabbits. One of the most exciting features of the Ridge is its capriciousness. Annual visitors find that lagoons can spring up, the sand can shift making for a fresh experience every time. From the top of the Ridge, the ocean as well as the sound can be seen. Jockey's Ridge has a sound beach on the Roanoke Sound side that visitors can swim in.

As in any other beach town, the ocean and shoreline are the major attractions, providing beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and a variety of water sports. A series of historic cottages overlook the beach in sections. There are three piers, Nags Head Pier, Jeanette's Pier, and Outer Banks Pier which are popular for fishing. To the south, is Coquina Beach, an unpopulated area that has huge, natural and clean beaches with its famous inhabitants, the coquina clam, which vary from purple to pink, and are the size of a pinky nail. Coquina Beach also holds the remnants of the Laura Barnes shipwreck, which perished in the beginning of the twentieth century. This remains are out in the open and visible. So these can be great to look at on a vacation if they are still there.

Nags Head also has a wide variety of restaurants, most of which overlook the sound rather than the ocean.

Nags Head is often a starting base for exploring the surrounding beaches and towns. Bodie Island Lighthouse, to the south, has horizontal black and white stripes. Further south, the symbolic and charming Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is donned with black and white stripes in a diagonal "candy cane stripe" pattern and is the tallest of the lighthouses in the area. Several years ago, the whole lighthouse was moved to delay erosion. The northernly Currituck Beach Lighthouse is left in a natural state of exposed brick and is located near the scenic Whalehead Club and a romantic bridge. A huge achievement to the world, the Wright Brother's first flight is located in Kitty Hawk, which in reality is in Kill Devil Hills. There are large monuments for each brother, model gliders, replica huts used for storing their supplies, and a center to explain the science and the history of flying in depth, with special centennial exhibits.
