(Tide Pool)

In Nags Head on the Outer Banks (about 3.5 hours from Raleigh in Jockey's Ridge State Park), the sound-side beaches and minor tidal zones near the massive dunes expose small intertidal areas at low tide with barnacles, periwinkles, fiddler crabs, mussels, and small marine invertebrates in sheltered Roanoke Sound waters.
