If you are stationed at Fort Bragg, you have to make a trip to the beach. Nags Head is a great place to visit.
Nags Head is a beach town on North Carolina's Outer Banks. It’s known for the towering sand dunes in Jockey's Ridge State Park. Displays on local flora and fauna dot the park's boardwalk. Paths through Nags Head Woods Preserve include Roanoke Trail, leading through salt marsh and forest to a quiet beach. South, the top of 1870s Bodie Island Lighthouse offers sweeping views of Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
