The food is always good at the Black Pelican, and the restaurant itself has an old Outer Banks vibe. Oceanfront - can't beat that!

Trio has an excellent beer and wine selection to take home or to enjoy with a cheese and charcuterie board, panini, or another tasty bite. The market has products created by local artisans such as jams, honey and cookies (Sweater Box Confections - delicious!) They often have live music which is fun.

The most popular ice cream and fast-food spot in Kitty Hawk! John's has been around since 1977 and is an Outer Banks institution. It is busy every day in the Summer. Parking is VERY limited (it's on the Beach Road), so maybe ride your bike there!

Activity Spot
Sandy Run Park is a delight. We love to feed the turtles here in the Summer, and walk around the park on the pathways. People are often fishing here and it's fun to see what they catch (and then release!) The park offers a very pleasant change of scene and pace for visitors.

Kayak tours take guests up Ginguite Creek, and to the covered bridge (guests may also take an enjoyable hike to there, but more of that later..!) Guides are knowledgeable. Surf lessons, and paddle boarding are also offered. Visit the website for detailed information. The business is owned by a local guy which is always a plus!

No cars allowed. This is an energetic walk through the Maritime forest on uneven ground at times. Worth the walk to see this unique (and our best kept secret) feature on the Outer Banks.

Sightseeing
A hidden gem of Outer Banks history. Moor Shore Road in Kitty Hawk begins at its north end at Kitty Hawk Road, passes some of the original properties of the town, and parallels Kitty Hawk Bay, ending at its south end at Beacon Drive.
There is a multi-use path that continues south along the Kitty Hawk Bay shoreline, connecting to Bay Drive and Kill Devil Hills.
This is the road the Wright Brothers would have used to travel from Bill Tate’s Kitty Hawk house to their Kill Devil Hills campsite (Tate was the Kitty Hawk postmaster at the time, and played a role in helping the Wright Brother’s when they initially arrived on the Outer Banks). There is a marker along the road that reads, “On this site, the Wright Brothers flew their first glider,” that marks where the Tate house once stood. The house no longer stands. Almost all of the 1900 era homes on the Outer Banks were simple clapboard construction, and few if any of those homes have survived.
Take a pleasant bike ride to snap a photo with this historical marker, and then take the multi-use path that borders the Sound through to Kill Devil Hills.
