Opened in 1985, Old Nags Head Cafe is located in the heart of Old Nags Head, NC on the beach road. It is a small, quaint restaurant offering traditional and contemporary southern dishes. Fresh local seafood, hand cut Angus Beef, chicken, chops, pasta, soups, salads, sandwiches. Daily specials and homemade desserts. Their breakfasts are fantastic.

Go Putt Putt Golfing

Putt Putt golf is always a fun family activity and there are several courses throughout the outer banks.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water. This is mostly common sense. You should always drink water when you are in the sun and it is hot and humid so your body doesn’t get dehydrated.

Rip Currents

Rip currents are strong and narrow currents which move directly away from the shore as pictured above. Rip currents can be very scary and very dangerous if you don’t know what is happening or what to do. A rip current is not the same as undertow. It simply carries objects (including people) beyond the breaking of waves.
