One iconic Outer Banks town made it onto the list! Nags Head ranked 13th on the list of 20 phenomenal domestic destinations. U.S. News wrote, "Spending time in the sun is the main reason to make the trip to Nags Head, part of the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. The beach town's sky-high sand dunes in Jockey's Ridge State Park and great fishing spots in the surrounding Gulf Stream waters attract travelers with varying interests. When you aren't lounging on the sand, explore Nags Head lighthouses or look for birds, sea turtles and more at nearby Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (on Hatteras Island). Fall and spring are the best seasons to visit thanks to fewer crowds and lower prices for accommodations."
Nags Head is an incredible place to visit- even if you're on a tight budget! You can visit the beautiful beaches, climb sand dunes, go for a scenic drive, visit breweries, and tour museums without breaking the bank. It is easy to have fun without feeling like you're skimping.
