Don’t let the flat terrain fool you. The Outer Banks can offer some wonderful hiking and exploring. Visit Jockey’s State Park to experience the East Coast’s biggest sand dune. This shifting sand dune rises to over 100 feet. Here hikers can spot wildlife, native vegetation and a glorious view of the ocean. Hikers will have to share this area with avid hang gliders, kite flyers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

When exploring the Outer Banks by foot or bike, let someone know when you expect to be back, just in case something should happen. We have all heard about lost hikers and bikers that were stuck for days because no one knew where they were going and when they were going to be back.
