Located on the west side of Highway 158, Old Nags Head Cove is one of the few waterfront communities on the Outer Banks that is boater friendly (some homes are right on canals for easy boating access and docking). This neighborhood is popular with boaters because of its deep water canals and popular for vacationers because of its quiet location. Community amenities include a sound front community pool (for a nominal fee), boat ramp, picnic area, tennis and volleyball courts, and sound side beach access.
