Barnes Street Beach Access
Closest beach access, surf spot.
Walk to this park right around the corner tucked into the woods. Theres a climbing play area, toddler swings, covered picnic area, and flat field for playing. There is also an awesome trail that goes all the way through Nags Head Woods to the sound. Great for a hike or run. Just be prepared for bugs in the summer months.
