Hotels in Kitty Hawk

Beyond the Wright Brothers National Memorial where flight first took wing, Kitty Hawk offers coastal adventures for every mood. Hang glide over the massive dunes at Jockey's Ridge State Park or explore its hidden maritime forests teeming with wildlife. The pristine Outer Banks beaches invite long walks where finding sand dollars becomes an addictive treasure hunt. Duck into the Children at Play Museum when afternoon thunderstorms roll in. Local surf shops offer lessons for beginners, while fishing charters promise tales of 'the one that got away.' After sunset, seafood shacks serve the day's catch with zero pretension. The Kitty Hawk Woods preserve reveals a surprising ecosystem where kayakers might spot river otters playing among cypress knees.
