When researching for our trip to OBX, Jockey's Ridge was a must for us. We love hiking and knew this would be a unique opportunity. The dunes are beautiful and challenging. There are markers to guide you along your hike to the top. Definitely bring water with you, as you will need it! We visited early morning and avoided the... More

Loved my visit to jockey ridge, this will be my one and only sand dune climb, very strenuous to get up to the top-especially in the heat of June. Beautiful views from the top and the sights of hangliding classes. Long walk to and up the dunes then back to visitor building.

We hiked over the dune with our three kids, 11, 9, and 5. We had a great time! The kids had a lot more endurance than I thought because it can get hot on the sand and climbing up and down the dunes takes a lot of strength. The visitors center has a great deal of information about the park... More

This was another 'must do' on my OBX to do list, and I am glad we did. We went to Kitty Hawk Kites and let our children pick out their kites and left our car there and walked across the pedestrian walk way. It is a hike for sure but once you get to the top the view is amazing.... More

It was great to see these giant sand dunes. Be aware that it's quite a long walk to the top of the dune. And it can get pretty windy, which isn't bad for adults, but can be tricky for very small children. It's definitely a great view and something you don't see very often!

We have been going to the Outer Banks for about 20 years and Jockey's Ridge is a must every year. The dunes are natural and there have been changes over the years that are a reminder of the power and beauty of nature. It is a hike coming in from the highway side- just park at the kite place across... More

The dunes are absolutely breathtaking because of their sheer size and how they were formed. Great place for kite flying which hubby and son did. People at the visitor center couldn't have been nicer. Great place to go.

Would have loved to seen the dunes on a dry day. They were great, even with the rain. The history that was presented inside was set up in a nice manner

Jockey's ridge is a neat place - hiking on large dunes overlooking the sound. Hang gliding school on side. Go early in the morning or it will be very hot. Carry water!
