Outside
The sun deck, the pool and the pier
The sun deck sits over the dune with the beach a few steps beyond it, and Nags Head Fishing Pier is next door — a minute’s walk. The outdoor pool is fenced, with a shallow end, and the barbecues are free to use. The pool opens for the season rather than year-round, so call the front desk to check before you travel.
