Family Things to Do on the Outer Banks at Village Beach Club
Plan a family day in Nags Head with pool time, beach access, pickleball, surf lessons, oceanfront dining, live music, and kids activities.
Every family hits the same wall on an Outer Banks vacation. Day one and two — the beach is perfect. Day three — the kids are restless. Day four — you're searching "things to do with kids on the Outer Banks" while everyone argues about lunch.
Village Beach Club in Nags Head solves that problem. It's an all-in-one oceanfront destination with enough variety to fill every day of your vacation — for every age.
Morning
Start with breakfast at Gather — new for 2026 and open at 9:00 AM. After breakfast, hit the junior Olympic pool or the kiddie pool. Or sign the kids up for a surf lesson right from the club's beach access.
Midday
Grab lunch at Gather without leaving the club. Rent beach chairs and umbrellas at the boardwalk. Reserve a beachside or poolside cabana and let the kids play while you relax with a cold drink delivered to your spot.
Afternoon
Family pickleball on the visitor courts — Sunday is Family & Kids day with programming designed for younger players. Daily drop-in is $20. Equipment is available at the courts. Intro to Pickleball clinics run Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 12:00 to 2:00 PM and are perfect for beginners of any age.
Everything in One Place
The biggest advantage for families is that everything is on-site. Pool, beach, restaurant, entertainment, pickleball, surf lessons, cabanas, and rentals — all at one oceanfront location. No driving between activities. No coordinating multiple stops. One place, full day, everyone's happy.
What Ages Is It Good For
Village Beach Club works for every age. The kiddie pool is perfect for toddlers. Surf lessons and pickleball clinics are great for older kids and teens. Yoga, water aerobics, and cabana experiences are ideal for parents who want their own downtime. And the live entertainment gives everyone something to look forward to in the evening.
