Jockey's Ridge State Park

Visitors can go fly a kite on the highest sand dune on the East Coast. Orville and Wilbur Wright were the first to take advantage of the area's prevailing winds, ranging from 10 to 15 miles per hour. The ridge, a favorite spot for playing in the sand, offers an exhilarating view of coastal North Carolina. The visitor center offers fascinating exhibits about this magnificent pile of sand.
