Attractions near Kitty Hawk vacation rentals
It can be tough to pull yourself away from the beaches of the Outer Banks—especially if your Kitty Hawk vacation rental puts you near the water—but the area's rich history is both eye-opening and fun to explore. See the actual field where mankind first took to the sky at the Monument to a Century of Flight, built to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first flight. Embark on a walking tour of where the flight took place, and see incredible metal sculptures and statues that immortalize a moment in history.

Witness a breathtaking 360-degree view of the ocean and the unique geography of the area from a helicopter or hot air balloon. Wildlife fans will be in their element, with bird-watching and dolphin tours both among Kitty Hawk’s most in-demand pursuits.
