A Guide to 7 Outdoor Things to Do in North Carolina

One of the best things about the Outer Banks is the variety of things to do on dry land and the open water. This means there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy in the Great Outdoors when staying at our Kill Devil Hills resort.

  1. Discover all there is to do at the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Established in 1938, this spot is one of the best places to go birdwatching. While here, you can also go hiking and kayaking.
  2. See who can reel in the biggest catch of the day on a fishing expedition. Increase your chances of having a successful trip by heading out with a local charter like West Wind Fishing Charter or Fishy Bizness OBX.
  3. Explore the shoreline on horseback. You have a number of services to choose from, including OBX Horseback and Hatteras Island Horseback Riding.
  4. For another fun horse-related adventure, explore the wild Colonial Spanish mustangs with Wild Horse Adventure Tours or Corolla Outback Adventures. Both operators give you an up-close look at the stunning creatures.
  5. Set off on a guided eco-tour through marshes and maritime forests. Businesses like Outer Banks Kayak Adventures and Coastal Kayak Touring Company offer a number of excursions that take you around or past Outer Banks landmarks.
  6. Make the short walk from our resort to the sandy shoreline to enjoy a day at the beach. Our “backyard” is the perfect place to enjoy everything from boogie boarding to flying kites to collecting shells.
  7. Try a different kind of sledding by visiting Jockey’s Ridge State Park. The sand dunes here are ideal for sandboarding. You can rent a board and all necessary equipment from Kitty Hawk Kites.
