Fun, scenic hike with lots to offer!
This scenic trail is a 1.2 mile out and back hike that offers views of the dunes, the ocean, and Roanoke Sound. It’s a beautiful hike with 360 degree views. This is a must-do if you are in the Outer Banks area! Plus it’s one of the rare free state parks!

A true marvel of nature!
The dunes at Jockey's Ridge are such a beautiful and wonderful experience for the whole family. Run down to the dunes, fly a kite, or catch a ride through the air.
