On the outskirts of town, the shoreline is dotted with brightly colored pastel homes, providing a picturesque backdrop for the swimming, surfing, and fishing the area has to offer.

In the center of Kill Devil Hills, you’ll find memorials and museums commemorating the historical achievements of the region; most notably, this is where humans first achieved powered flight.
