Write “Will you marry me” in the sand or just drop to one knee during a sunrise or sunset walk on the beach.
Jockey’s Ridge

Jockey’s Ridge is the tallest natural sand dune on the East coast. Located in Nags Head, you can spend hours roaming the vast sandy dunes while enjoying views of both the Ocean and the sound. We suggest bringing a blanket and picnic and finding an intimate spot to watch the sunset.
Pier Proposal
Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills
The Outer Banks offers several piers which are open to the public. Piers offer a romantic and semi-private setting for a marriage proposal, just make sure you don’t drop the ring!!!
Kayak or Boat Ride
A kayak tour offers the perfect romantic setting to ask the big question.
Sailing or Dolphin tour
Set sail out in the open waters and surprise her with the question she’s been waiting for!
Lighthouse Proposal
