Why Live in Waves

Waves, part of the Tri-villages on Hatteras Island in Nags Head, NC, is a small community known for its vibrant water sports scene and relaxed beach lifestyle. The village is popular among surfers and kiteboarders, with Real Watersports offering extensive kiteboarding classes and facilities. The area features a mix of classic beach cottages and modern homes, many with shingle siding, bright colors, and wraparound balconies. Flooding is a consideration, so homes are built on stilts and some are protected by double dunes. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore provides long stretches of beach perfect for surfing and fishing, while the Pamlico Sound offers calmer waters ideal for kiteboarding. Local businesses are mostly seasonal, with essentials available at Waves Market & Deli and more extensive shopping options in nearby Avon or Nags Head, each about 20 minutes away. The village is connected by North Carolina Highway 12, making travel to other parts of the Outer Banks convenient. While the local schools in Buxton are a half-hour drive away, they offer unique programs and maintain small enrollments. Despite the risk of hurricanes and flooding, Waves remains a sought-after destination for those looking to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea.
