Kiteboarding is a very popular thing to do in Nags Head. The Roanoke Sound, which is shallow and calm, is perfect for beginners to learn to the sport, and lessons are available. On windy days, you’ll see dozens of colorful kites flying over the sound as kiteboarders zip back and forth over the water. Experienced kiteboarders also enjoy kiteboarding on the ocean waves. In Nags Head, NC, kiteboarding is concentrated around milepost 16 on the sound.

Charter fishing on the Outer Banks is one of the most popular activities. Thousands of visitors and locals take advantage of the excellent fishing these waters offer, so not surprisingly there are many businesses that can connect you with the sort of charter you're interested in. Without a doubt, the offshore charter boats that go after the Gulf Stream big game of tuna, wahoo, mahi and more are king! You leave early in the morning, and if Neptune is with you, you come back in the afternoon with a bounty of tasty fish. These charters often book out months in advance, so plan ahead. Most of the time, a predetermined group of up to six anglers book a boat, but it is possible to be part of a make-up charter where you'll be paired with others who are booking individually. If offshore boats are king, then the headboats are definitely queen. These charters stay inshore in the sound or near-shore in the ocean, charge by the head (person) and can take 40 or so out for fish such as drum, flounder, blues, spot, striped bass and croaker. There's a mate on board if you need help baiting that hook. These trips are great choices for kids or those of you who might be susceptible to seasickness since they're half-days and within sight of land. You'll also find charter companies here that will take you fishing in the nearby rivers and lakes.

Run Hill is like a mini Jockey's Ridge. It's an active, migrating dune system just like Jockey's Ridge, but it's much smaller - 123 acres instead of 420. And it seems wilder and more mysterious. It's a state natural area instead of state park, so there's no visitor center or amenities and it's lesser known, which means it's far less crowded than Jockey's Ridge. Run...read more
