Jockey's Ridge State Park is a unique place with mysterious sand dunes which are constantly shifting with the wind. The park is located in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. The sand dunes can reach up to 60 feet high and are made up of sediment from the nearby Roanoke Sound and Albemarle Sound. The dunes are ever-changing, and it feels like you are walking in a desert. The park offers a variety of activities such as hang gliding and kite flying since the strong winds in the area are perfect for these sports. I also learned that the area was once a site for military maneuvers and gunnery practice during World War II. If you are looking for an adventure in North Carolina, Jockey's Ridge State Park is definitely worth a visit!
