Nags Head is one of the most popular spots on the Outer Banks. This barrier island has been developed for vacationers, but it has not lost its age-old charm. The seemingly endless Atlantic beaches still stretch over the horizon. The sound and its natural wonders have basically remained untouched. Both the ocean and the sound are always there to be explored. Kayaking the Outer Banks may be the best way to explore it all starting out the front door of our Outer Banks rentals.
Nestled between the sand dunes on the sound side, the woods at Nags Head are a natural jewel. You can visit this area from the water — sail, canoe or better yet kayak to it. Ocean side, you can kayak just about anywhere if you are up to the challenge. Run up into the waves and parallel the beach looking for the occasional dolphin school or coast back on a breaker, edging left or right to keep your nose out of the water.
On the sound there are salt marches, islands and primitive wooded places full of wondrous things to see. Just about anywhere on the sound is a good place for kayaking. It is great exercise and kayaking here is an unforgettable experience.
If bringing your own kayak is not convenient you can rent one just about anywhere near our Outer Banks rentals. Kayaks are inexpensive to rent and you can even have them delivered to your Outer Banks rentals or wherever you plan to launch into the water.
Kayak tours are fun and the tour company will supply everything you need. They will provide a guide that will know where all the best places are and take you to them. Never tried kayaking? It’s time to give it a try!
