“Nature Preserve in the Outer Banks”
A gem of sand dunes, ponds, marshes and wetlands nested on the Outer Banks. When most Outer Banks visitors think of Nags Head, they imagine a classic beach town filled with warm sunny days, crashing ocean waves, and miles of beaches, shops, restaurants and all the attractions that inherently come standard with an entertaining and well-loved vacation town. Granted, this is certainly an accurate description of Nags Head's fun oceanfront beaches, attractions and accommodations, but located just west of the beach lies an almost hidden treasure to many new vacationers, the Nags Head Woods Preserve. This natural site couldn't be more different than the summer fun and amenities located just around the corner, but it certainly offers its own allures with over 1,400 acres of perfectly pristine maritime forest and other soundside ecosystems. An unusual habitat on any barrier island, the Nags Head Woods Preserve is even more special as not only is it home to a diversity of plant and animal life, but its location just yards away from the US 158 Bypass makes it accessible for almost any Outer Banks visitor. On your next OBX vacation, take a break from the busy beaches and spend a quiet afternoon exploring the quiet wild landscapes of the Nags Head Woods Preserve, completely hidden in plain sight and always open for everyone to enjoy.
