Tar Heel Motel

Budget-conscious Outer Banks visitors who want to relax in a central setting without breaking the bank can head to the Tar Heel Motel. Open since 1960, this local motel has been providing reasonably priced accommodations for vacationers for more than 50 years, and continues to welcome generations of families who want to kick off their flip flops, relax, and enjoy the heart of the Nags Head shoreline.

Tar Heel Motel is located on the western edge of the less hectic Beach Road, and is just an easy stroll away from the oceanfront, (which is right across the street), as well as a number of restaurants, beach bars, stores, watersports companies, and the Tanger Outlets shopping center. The low-key rooms are simple but homey with en suite bathrooms, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and mini-fridges & microwaves for added convenience. (There are also upgraded rooms available, which feature kitchenettes or kitchen facilities.) Visitors at the motel can relax at the outdoor pool and adjacent sunny lounge area, prepare al fresco meals via the on-site grills, or enjoy casual outdoor feasts at the picnic area. With an emphasis on enjoying the beach without too much fuss, this well-established motel is a solid spot for Outer Banks beach bums at heart.

The 7 Best Fishing & Beach Carts for 2025

For families travelling to the beach, or fishermen carrying tackle/coolers, a beach cart can be the best purchase of your vacation. These carts feature extra-wide wheels to move across soft sand, even when loaded. Carts are often built for specific scenarios, so think about the gear you’d be putting on your cart before making a decision.

Bodie Island Lighthouse

The Bodie Island Lighthouse, (pronounced "Body") is located just south of the town of Nags Head and Whalebone Junction, where Highway 158, Highway 64, and NC Highway 12 intersect. Visitors travelling towards Hatteras Island can't help but notice the black and white horizontal striped structure, peaking out over a line of dense cedar trees on the soundside.
