Don't miss going to Jockey's Ridge, it's a site to be seen. Choose an overcast cool day if you have one to go, otherwise you will be sweating and tired out before you reach the dunes. Also be sure and leave 30 min. to run into the information building and view the displays there, even little ones will enjoy the... more

We enjoyed our visit to Jockey's Ridge. The views from the top of the dunes are great. You have great ocean and sound views. It was fun to watch the dune "sandboarders," hangliders and the kids flying kites. Lots of wind for those activities. Good workout -- not an easy journey for those physically impaired, however there is a viewing... more

This park was so different from what I expected, but was truly an amazing site! I had read about the dunes, but expected them to be rather small and unimpressive. Contrary to my misconception, the park proved to be one of the most unique locations I have been to. The dunes are huge and cover a rather large area, and... more

My boyfriend and I had went to the Outer Banks in September of 2007 and went on top of the dunes to see the sunset. It is quite spectacular from that point of view. We just went last week May 2008 and decided to go again to see the sunset. This time the sand was blowing so hard it was... more

My husband and I, along with our 3 sons vacation in the Outer Banks every year and we always stop at Jokey's Ridge, but this year we decided to do something a little different...and I'm glad we did! We went for a hike on a trail that leads to the sound. Eventually you are off the marked path, but that... more

We just came back from a week vacation in the outer banks-Duck. It was fabulous. We went to Jocky's Ridge after reading the reviews and all the positive feedback is correct. It is a sight to see. I wheeled my 2 year olds carriage down a wooden path to bring us closer to the dunes, left it there and off... more

Jockey's Ridge State Park has the East Coast's tallest sand dune and you can walk to the top! My husband and daughter and I did, but oh it was exhausting! It was so hard to walk up because you kept sinking down in the sand with every step you took. We went the first of June and it was already... more

I just got back from my 7 hour trip with my class to the Outer Banks, NC and in my opinion, visiting the Jockey's Ridge at Nag's Head was the best part of the trip!!! The view of the beach from the sand dunes is beautiful especially in the mornings. Also me and my friends were rolling down the tall... more

My husband and I just got back from our fifth trip to Nags Head. For the first time, we visited Jockey's Ridge State Park and climbed the dunes. What a great experience it was! Having driven by the park many times in the heat of the summer, we often commented about how hot it must be on all that sand.... more
