Things to do in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina (NC): The Best Outdoor Activities

August 7, 2021 Misti Hsu

With water, water everywhere, visitors to Kill Devil HIlls indulge in fishing and crabbing, quiet kayaking, robust surfing or parasailing, peaceful seaside cycling and that favorite, toes-in-the-sand enjoyment of the beach.This barrier island township is the center of the Northern beach and home to about 7,000 year-round residents. Summer welcomes visitors anxious to share the natural landscapes and village-like appeal. Savor long stretches of Atlantic views and silky sands. If you’re a history buff, visit area lighthouses and the National Memorial honoring Wilbur and Orville Wright, who accomplished the first controlled powered flight in 1903. In nearby Kitty Hawk, Seascape Golf Links challenge players with changing elevations and coastal landscapes. A popular day trip just 17 miles to the southwest, the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabeth Gardens and live performances of “The Lost Colony” combine to preserve and present the background of Native American culture and Sir Walter Raleigh’s colonization efforts in the late 1500’s.

Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf

Reviewed By paintedpebbles - Lexington, United States

Our teen daughter’s favorite putt putt place at North Myrtle Beach so she was excited to see one here at Kill Devil Hills. We arrived at a good time after dinner with maybe two families in front of us. Weather was perfect! This is a fun course with the “train ride” to the top. We recommend you go early because when we were leaving the line had grown to a crazy length all the way into the parking lot. The cashier & staff were all friendly.
