South Nags Head

Surround Yourself with Outer Banks Scenery

Enjoy this secluded ribbon of vacation homes.

South Nags Head begins at Milepost 17, commonly known as Whalebone Junction, and is the furthest point south on the central beaches of the Outer Banks. The area is in part, connected with the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and sections are federally protected, so there is very little commercial development.

Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Cape Hatteras National Seashore to the west, this area offers a long ribbon of vacation homes, smaller condos, and the Outer Banks Fishing Pier. A multi-use path stretches the five-miles that spans South Nags Head and is perfect for walking, biking, dog walking and rollerblading. The lack of commercial development in this area means the beaches are wide and uncrowded.

Sun Realty is proud to represent vacation homes in South Nags Head and the properties offered by Sun Realty range in size from ocean and sound front condos to larger, OBX rentals.
