Living Sand Dunes in North Carolina's Outer Banks

Did you know that the largest living sand dune on the Atlantic Coast is in North Carolina?🤩 The reason it is known as “living” is because the wind is constantly blowing the sand and shifting the landscape. It’s a great place to go for some family fun, with amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean 🌊 and Roanoke Sound. Also, it’s an easy place to social distance, which is nice for times like these😉 ♥ (Save this post for info) ♥ 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙨? Jockey’s Ridge State Park in the Outer Banks, at Nags Head, North Carolina 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: Water (feels like you are in the desert☺️), tennis shoes, sunscreen, activities to do. 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨: Hiking, kite flying, sandboarding, hang gliding, or picnicking. 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙨: The dunes are estimated to have formed 3,000 - 4,000 years ago. Summer brings a southwest wind that blows it in one direction and winter brings a northeast wind that blows it in the other direction, keeping the dunes from blowing away entirely! ➡️Follow @eastcoast.blondies for more travel inspiration!✨
