Here is some Outer Banks info from the wiki:

The Outer Banks are a 200-mile (320-km) long string of narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, on the East Coast of the United States. They cover approximately half the northern North Carolina coastline, separating the Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Outer Banks are a major tourist destination and are known for their temperate climate and wide expanse of open beachfront. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore has four campgrounds where visitors may camp.

The Wright Brothers’ first flight in a powered, heavier-than-air vehicle took place on the Outer Banks on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills, near the sea-front town of Kitty Hawk. The Wright Brothers National Monument commemorates the historic flights, and First Flight Airport is a small, general-aviation airfield located there.

The English Roanoke Colony—where the first person of English descent, Virginia Dare, was born on American soil [1]—vanished without a trace from Roanoke Island in 1587. The treacherous seas off the Outer Banks and the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred there have given these seas the nickname Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located in Hatteras Village near the United States Coast Guard facility and Hatteras ferry.

Here is some Nags Head info from the wiki:

Located in Nags Head is the largest sand dune on the East Coast, Jockey’s Ridge. The sand dune has migrated over the years from wind and erosion, and has buried a miniature golf course along the way. A castle is still visible and is a major landmark. There is also a buried hotel. The area surrounding Jockey’s Ridge is good for biking, or hiking. Jockey’s Ridge has been popular with Hang-gliders since the advent of the sport, as well as kite flyers and sand gliders. The Ridge includes an informative museum with exhibits on sand, weather, and area animals. The creatures outside are numerous and includes bird species, foxes, mice, squirels, occasional deer and friendly wild rabbits. One of the most exciting features of the Ridge is its capriciousness. Annual visitors find that lagoons can spring up, the sand can shift making for a fresh experience every time. From the top of the Ridge, the ocean as well as the sound can be seen. Jockey’s Ridge has a sound beach on the Roanoke Sound side that visitors can swim in.

As in any other beach town, the ocean and shoreline are the major attractions, providing beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and a variety of water sports. A series of historic cottages overlook the beach in sections. There are three piers, Nags Head Pier, Jeanette’s Pier, and Outer Banks Pier which are popular for fishing. To the south, is Coquina Beach, an unpopulated area that has huge, natural and clean beaches with its famous inhabitants, the coquina clam, which vary from purple to pink, and are the size of a pinky nail. Coquina Beach also holds the remnants of the Laura Barnes shipwreck, which perished in the beginning of the twentieth century. This remains are out in the open and visible.

Nags Head also has a wide variety of restaurants, most of which overlook the sound rather than the ocean.

Nags Head is often a starting base for exploring the surrounding beaches and towns. Bodie Island Lighthouse, to the south, has horizontal black and white stripes. Further south, the symbolic and charming Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is donned with black and white stripes in a diagonal “candy cane stripe” pattern and is the tallest of the lighthouses in the area. Several years ago, the whole lighthouse was moved when erosion threatened its original location. The northernly Currituck Beach Lighthouse is left in a natural state of exposed brick and is located near the scenic Whalehead Club and a romantic bridge. A huge achievement to the world, the Wright Brother’s first flight is located in Kitty Hawk, which in reality is in Kill Devil Hills. There are large monuments for each brother, model gliders, replica huts used for storing their supplies, and a center that explains the science and the history of flying in depth, with special centennial exhibits.

In 1808, Greensborough (as was the spelling prior to 1895) was planned around a central courthouse square to succeed the nearby town of Guilford Court House as the county seat. This act moved the county courts closer to the geographical center of the county, a location more easily reached by the majority of the county’s citizens.
