About Nags Head Surf Travel
As you enter the town of Nags Head, the driving becomes a little more bearable, and accesses abound. So do breaks, which change with the seasons — and sometimes just storm — but go-to spots are easy to find. Just look for the signs: Barnes Street, Nags Head Pier, the short-lived but infamous break the locals knew as “Police Station” and several other spots in South Nags Head. All these spots are well-marked and easy to spot from the beach road. Pick a beach. Go surfing. Give a wave. Give a smile. Meet a friend. Find out where he lives — he might have a good-looking gerbil.
