Your Ultimate OBX Surf Fishing Guide
Nags Head
Nags Head offers some of the best surf fishing in the Outer Banks. Pack up your gear, a lunch, and any extra beach essentials that you need for a day under the Carolina blue sky and head to this beautiful strands of sand. Surf fishing in Nags Head is incredibly easy. All you need to do is make sure that you are a safe distance away from swimmers frolicking in the surf and cast your line in! Common fish swimming in the area includes Bluefish, Spot, and Pompano among a handful of others.
Kill Devil Hills
Pack up the family in the car and venture to Kill Devil Hills for a day of surf fishing in the Outer Banks. The pristine beaches along this stretch coastline are similar to Nags Head, with the only difference being that the Kill Devil Hills stretches are not as wide. You’ll find identical varieties of fish here as you relax and take in the sun. Surf fishing also provides a fantastic opportunity for those wanting to spend a leisurely day with their families at the beach!
Oregon Inlet
The fast-flowing waters of the Oregon Inlet make this one of the most unique Outer Banks surf fishing spots along the coast. The inlet is less than a 15-minute drive south of Nags Head, and there is plenty of parking located on the sound side of the highway. After you cross the road, vast untouched stretches of sand await you in every direction. There are no condos or homes for miles, so it’s the perfect place to disconnect from the rest of the Outer Banks. The change of tides and constant current going in and out of the inlet are prime for mullet and kingfish in addition to a long list of other great catches.
Tip: A recreational fishing license is a requirement for all residents and non-residents aged 16 or older.
