Nags Head Area
Nags Head has been the historic center of family beach vacations since the 1940s and 50s, and a stay at Ship Shape puts you in the middle of it all. Jockey's Ridge State Park, the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast, offers hiking, nature trails, picnicking, sail boarding, and a museum and visitor center. The Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve covers 1400 acres of maritime forest with over 5 miles of trails and 50 species of birds. Cast a line from the beach or one of three piers, including Jeannette's Pier with its aquarium annex and interpretive displays, then fill the rest of your week with miniature golf, go-carting, a brand-name outlet mall, specialty shops, and restaurants ranging from casual take-out to fine dining. Historic Roanoke Island, the NC Aquarium, and the fishing village of Wanchese are all an easy drive away.
