    September 27, 2025

    Jockey’s Ridge State Park is home to the tallest living sand dunes on the East Coast, rising and shifting with the wind above North Carolina’s Outer Banks. You can hike across the open dunes, fly a kite in the steady coastal breeze, or watch hang gliders launch from the ridge. The park also features a short boardwalk trail through maritime thicket, offering a peek at the hardy vegetation that anchors the sand.
