On Thursdays there's a nice farmers and craft market. There's a nice produce stand with lots of local product. Many of the stalls are local artists and bakers. I love lots of the beach theme products, all very good quality.

I actually hadn't heard of Jockey's Ridge, so I certainly wasn't prepared to hike it! I was wearing…read morea pair of slides, which made some parts of the trek challenging; I do not recommend (make sure you were proper footwear because the sand does get HOT). However, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see the tallest sand dune on the Atlantic. On some portions of the hike, I opted to take make my slides off; it was easier than continuously digging them out of the sand. Nevertheless, it was a great experience. I love opportunities to visit state parks and enjoy nature. This was a wonderful way to get my feet in the sand, while also viewing some greenery, and I was rewarded by ocean views for making the journey. It's a beautiful place ans experience that I hope to get again.

Jockey's Ridge State Park is one of the best spots to visit in the Outer Banks. The massive dunes…read moreare incredible to see and fun for kids to climb, run around, or roll down. It's the tallest living sand dune system on the East Coast, and the views from the top are amazing, especially at sunset. The visitor center has some neat exhibits about the history and ecology of the dunes, and the rangers are helpful with tips on where to go. People are out there flying kites or even taking hang gliding lessons, which makes it a lively place. Admission is free and it's a unique experience you don't want to miss.

Found this Beach Access . It's above expectations . Not…read moresure how long it's been here but looks pretty new. Restrooms for Men and Women and a Family restroom as well. 4 outside shower heads and 1 private shower/ changing station . Spacious walkway leading you to the sand and ocean . It has a volley ball net out front near parking lot and a long bench on the decking to sit and enjoy the game . Large parking lot with handicap parking also a ramp Incase you can't do the steps ( though not many ) The only thing I can say this Access needs is bench seating at the end of the walkway. That way you can enjoy the beach without the sand if that's what you prefer . Also someone who is handicap could sit and enjoy the ocean for a while . No fun standing up !!! So that's why I gave 4 stars . Hopefully the bench is coming .
