Nags Head Real Estate Stands Out

The Town of Nags Head paved the way in local implementation of beach nourishment practices. In the past decade, several miles of the town’s beaches have been augmented, creating a shoreline that’s wider than even many locals ever remember. The town is also a recreational playground, with many businesses that focus on water and wind sports as well as boating, Jet skiing, golf, miniature golf, go-carts and a bike path that’s popular for joggers, walkers and bikers. All of this adds to Nags Head’s appeal as a hometown and vacation getaway and makes Nags Head real estate very popular.
