About

This Kitty Hawk Kites store on South Croatan Highway is the Nags Head outpost of the well-known Outer Banks retail and outfitting chain, sitting along the Beach Road/Croatan Highway corridor that runs through the three northern beach towns. It's one of several Kitty Hawk Kites locations spread across the Outer Banks rather than a single flagship store, set up as both a shop and a booking point for outdoor activities.

What's in Stock

Inside you'll find the retail mix the chain is known for: beachwear, footwear, sunglasses, and hard goods for kiteboarding, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, along with kites for sale. The clothing and the watersports gear share the same floor, so a stop can cover sunglasses and a rash guard as easily as a paddleboard.

Booking a Session

Google lists this location as a tour operator and travel agency in addition to retail, which tracks with how Kitty Hawk Kites operates across its Outer Banks stores — booking lessons and rentals in kiteboarding, surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, plus the hang gliding instruction the company has long run on the northern Outer Banks.

Hours

The store keeps long daily hours: 9am to 10:30pm on weekdays, 8am to 10:30pm on weekends — useful for gearing up before an early water session or stopping in after the beach closes out the day.

Great spot for a bunch of cool stuff. Huge selection of some of the best regular and sport kites. Dunes are a great place to visit and fly kites. Lots of little shops also.

My wife and I have traveled 3 plus hours several times just to visit this specific location of Kitty Hawk Kites. The assistant manager Adam in the kite section has been the absolute best with every question I have thrown at him. He has always been so happy to assist me, even over the phone, and I have enjoyed every kite I have purchased from him. Most recently, he helped me on the purchase of an HQ Symphony Pro 2.2 and helped me convert it to quad line. That afternoon on the dunes I had it flying in ways I hadn't been able to before. Great store, excellent staff, and always a great time at this location!

The dolphin cruise was great! We saw a lot of dolphins, they even came quite close to the boat. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We didn’t have to take advantage of this, but they do offer a rebook if you don’t see dolphins, and I appreciated knowing that was an option after last years tour with a different company where we didn’t see any dolphins and were not offered any compensation.

Fun place. Buy a kit and fly it on jockeys ridge across the street on the sand dunes.
