Walk the path Wilbur and Orville Wright took in their first successful air flights. The museum is a great education on the beginnings of the airline industry. The airport behind the park also offers airplane rides at reasonable prices for spectacular beach views..

Relax, you're on beach time!

Dare County’s beautiful beaches sometimes have rip currents. Monitor lifeguard warnings at Weather.gov/safety/ripcurrent. Closest handicap access to beach is at Ocean Bay Beach Access. An interactive map is available at https://community. darecountync.gov. Local events are posted on OBXtoday.com and OBXthisweek.com. Learn each town's rules for pet beach access. Digging in the sand is fun, but deep holes can be dangerous to people and wildlife; please fill in holes before you leave. View but stay away from turtle nests and wild horses. Don't forget sunscreen! Have fun and enjoy your stay!
