The Town of Kitty Hawk is known the world over for its association with the Wright brothers and flight. Where the Wright brothers flew their airplane is located in the town of Kill Devil Hills to day, but they did arrive and depart the Outer Banks at Kitty Hawk, and they found accommodations in the rural soundside community for some of their visits in the early 1900s. More than a century later, Kitty Hawk has shifted its focus from the soundside to the ocean. The beach draws thousands upon thousands of vacationers every year to Kitty Hawk, where a variety of accommodations await. Kitty Hawk is known for its old-school beachfront cottages along with mom-and-pop motels and one of the nicest resort hotels on the beach. Kitty Hawk is small, but it offers plenty for a nice vacation, including shops, superstores, restaurants and a golf course.
