“Get to know the Outer Banks beyond the Netflix show,” states Thrillist.com, who has named Nags Head, North Carolina one of “The 20 Greatest Beach Towns in America” in a recent listicle published on February 22.

“Nags Head has become the de-facto name for a power trio of beach towns in the Outer Banks: Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk,” explains contributor Jim Trotman for Thrillist, an online outlet dedicated to food, drink, travel and entertainment. ”

In addition to being “a haven for East Coast surfers” stretching over eleven miles of beach and sound, Thrillist also highlights two local favorites that they recommend for food and beverages: Biscuits N’ Porn and I Got Your Crabs.

Before leaving the area while on vacation, the outlet suggests “taking a break from the beach and stretching your legs with a hike through the surprisingly hilly Nags Head Woods Preserve.”
