Coquina Beach, Atlantic beach in Nags Head, Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Coquina Beach extends along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore with wide stretches of sand meeting the Atlantic Ocean waves.
The beach stands as part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, established in 1937 as the first national seashore in the United States.
Local fishermen gather at Coquina Beach throughout the year to practice surf fishing, continuing a long-standing North Carolina coastal tradition.
The beach facilities include a bathhouse with 14 changing rooms, outdoor showers, water stations, and three parking lots with designated accessible spaces.
During low tide, visitors can spot small coquina clams burrowing in the sand, which gave the beach its name.
