Many visitors remark on the bizarre town names spread along the Outer Banks, and one of the names that causes the most head-scratching is Kitty Hawk. A small but popular vacation town in the busy central Outer Banks, Kitty Hawk was originally deemed "Chicahawk" by its original Native American residents, meaning a "place to hunt geese". Over the generations, the names changed slightly, the area became more developed, and the town became the popular tourist destination it is today.
Outer Banks vacationers find that Kitty Hawk has a little something for everyone, including fantastic beaches, plenty of shops and restaurants, and even a large section of maritime forest where visitors can enjoy quiet nature trails.
Kitty Hawk offers a sample of everything that makes the Outer Banks a great vacation destination!!
