The Kill Devil Hills center is about the area of Wright Brothers National Memorial and 1 mile west of Port O' Call Restaurant.
Kill Devil Hills, NC is a great place to visit during the summer months as it offers six miles of beautiful beaches, waterfront restaurants and amazing shops. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is also located here where you can explore the history of aviation where both brothers (Orville and Wilbur) first flew and experimented with the magic of flight. Also fun for the whole family is Paradise Fun Park, which has mini golf, Go karts and arcade games and the Avalon Fishing Pier is the ideal spot to go for fishing. Be sure to not miss out on some good southern food cooking at High Cotton BBQ where they serve delicious hickory smoked pork, ribs, beef brisket, you name it! They even offer family packages and catering services for large groups. Stay in a great hotel like the Days Inn Oceanfront Wright Brothers with continental breakfast or the Ramada Plaza located near many fun attractions and feel the warmth that North Carolina offers!
Kill Devil Hills is far enough south to enjoy warmer weather than the rest of the country, but it can still get chilly in the winter months. Enjoy moderate temperatures from April through November with peak beach weather May through September. Fall visitors should keep in mind September and October are part of hurricane season, and North Carolina does get its fair share of hurricanes. You should keep a close eye on the weather before heading off if you are vacationing during those months.
Hotel Rates are highest in the heat of July and lowest in the winter months. Beachcombers who enjoy visiting in the low season can find great shells and treasures on virtually empty beaches and enjoy great off-season rates. If you have never walked down an empty beach, visit Kill Devil Hills in the winter for capturing beautiful scenery and collecting sea shells.
Many hotels in Kill Devil Hills offer discounts to AAA members and seniors. If you want to get a discount, but still be right on the waterfront, the Ramada Nags Head Oceanfront is a great choice.

The Wright Brothers National Memorial is located in Kill Devil Hills rather than Kitty Hawk because this is where the Wright Brothers had their record-breaking flight. At the time of their flight, Kill Devil Hills wasn't a town yet, so Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, got all the glory. Visit the museum to find out why they chose this particular location and how they managed to take to the air.
The Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve is a great place to take a hike while you're visiting the area. There are plenty of trails, and dogs on leash are welcome to join you as you explore the natural wonders of the Outer Banks. Make sure to bring bug spray; many of the trails go through swampy areas that mosquitos love.
If you love gliding on top of the water, check out Outer Banks Kayak Adventures. This five-star rated adventure center offers kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and boat tours around the island. Watch a great blue heron spear a fish, relax under the swamp moss, or glide along in your kayak next to a resident alligator.
Kill Devil Hills has something for everyone. Great beaches, amazing fishing spots, delicious seafood, and breathtaking scenery. This family-friendly town offers hotels for all budgets, and all have amenities to make you feel right at home.
