Things To Do Near Periwinkle Rental Home in Kill Devil Hills

Question: what do you get when you combine a premier oceanfront home with the fun and excitement of Kill Devil Hills? Answer: the time of your life, of course! This charming A-frame has just enough room for a couple or small group. Yet it’s big on the kind of features you would expect from a property managed by Cole Vaughn Realty, the leader in Outer Banks vacation rentals. In this post we will look at some of the many things to do in the area.

Have a Blast at Jockey’s Ridge State Park
The North Carolina coast is famous for its mountain-like sand dunes. And you’ll find no better examples of these natural wonders than the towering peaks at Jockey’s Ridge State Park. Get your daily exercise by walking to the top of the dunes and enjoy a birds-eye view of the majestic scenery. Trek along the coastline and collect seashells. Or try your hand at hang gliding, an ever-popular activity in the park.

You can also visit the maritime forest or take snapshots of local wildlife, including the elusive but ever popular red and grey foxes that call the park home. Stroll along a 360-foot boardwalk or take a quick hike down one of the nature trails. Other popular activities include kayaking, windsurfing, and swimming. The park is also an ideal spot for flying a kite. You’ll find a museum and visitor center with fascinating educational resources and souvenirs. The park is a pleasant 10-15 minute ride from Kill Devil Hills.

Journey into the Past and Explore the History of Aviation
The Wright Brothers National Memorial Site affords visitors the opportunity to stand in the very spot where Wilbur and Orville Wright launched their first successful airplane in 1903. Stroll to the top of the hill from where they took to the air and see the memorial erected in their honor. Examine the impressive sculpture that serves as a historically accurate reproduction of the plane. Explore the coastline and let the soft sands and refreshing ocean breezes invigorate your spirit.

Please note: the regular visitor’s center is closed until fall of 2018 for renovations. However, the park service has erected a temporary structure with historical information, a bookstore, and other points of interest.

Shop and Dine to Your Heart’s Content
Kill Devil Hills and the surrounding area has everything you possibly want in terms of shopping and dining venues. Browse local antique stores and take home a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. Grab a quick bite or settle in for a sumptuous feast; you’ll find a huge variety of American and ethnic cuisines from which to choose. Or pick up some groceries and whip up a delicious meal in your comfy, welcoming vacation home.
