Situated along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Kitty Hawk offers plenty of fun activities for visitors to enjoy!
For starters, it’s a hot spot for beachcombing, birdwatching, camping, shopping, and waterfront dining.
It’s also well-known for being the site of the first ever flight by the Wright brothers.
Visitors interested in aviation history should check out the Monument to a Century of Flight, while those looking to escape into nature can do so at the Kitty Hawk Woods Reserve.
If you’re looking for a great view of the Atlantic Ocean, check out Avalon Pier in the nearby Kill Devil Hills.
