• Stay cozy inside.
• Take short walks.
• Wipe paws after salty sidewalks.
• Watch for shivering.

Show your Nags Head flair every time you’re on the road with a Town of Nags Head license plate.

The 2026 plates are just $8, and if you love a good deal, last year’s plates are only $3 (while supplies last). Not a Nags Head resident or property owner? No problem! These plates are available for purchase by everyone. 

You can purchase plates at Town Hall, or if you need one mailed to you, give us a call at 252-441-5508.

Easy, affordable, and a fun way to show your Nags Head pride. 

As winter storms bring extremely cold conditions, make sure you are heating your home safely.

• Keep any heating sources at least 3 feet away.
• Always plug space heaters directly into an outlet.
• NEVER use your oven to heat your home.

Be winter ready!

Winter Markets Are Back! 

Join us at our Dowdy Park Winter Markets, held under the park's pavilion from 9 am – 12 pm on the following Saturdays:

• February 14
• March 14
• April 11

Shop for local, seasonal goods and cozy winter treats from your favorite local vendors. Unlike our larger markets, these markets are small gatherings with food vendors only.

We can’t wait to see you at the market!

What should you do with that stack of magazines on your table? Recycle them!

A common misconception is that magazines can not be recycled due to their glossy pages. Our recycling vendor, TFC Recycling, accepts this type of glossy paper at their facility and they are happy to help you declutter while saving trees in the process.

If you have extra recycling needs, feel free to use the recycling containers at Nags Head's town hall, which are available 24/7/365. We also have containers at our Public Services facility at 2203 Lark Avenue in the north end of town. They are available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 9 am - 3:30 pm. 

Curbside recycling makes it easy for Nags Head property owners to reduce landfill waste and protect the local coastal environment, without extra trips to the recycling centers. Be sure to subscribe to the curbside recycling collection service offered by TFC Recycling. The cost is $13.35/month.

Thanks for recycling!
