Nags Head, North Carolina

Nags Head NC was the first tourist colony in North Carolina,
established about 1830. Families of wealth mainland planters
arrived for the summer hopeful of escaping heat and malaria.
The summer tradition started on the Roanoke Sound side of
Nags Head, but soon family vacationers explored the ocean side
and soon beach homes were built. 'Cottage Row' along
the seashore and a North Carolina tradition were born.
Nags Head beach homes were built in a certain style with roofed
porches and gabled front doors. New luxury ocean homes reflect this
influence. Nags Head NC luxury real estate for sale or rent offers
oceanfront homes, beachfront houses and condos, waterfront homes,
and investment real estate.
