Kitesurfing at
Cape HatterasWAIST-DEEP FOR MILES
Kitesurfing at Cape Hatteras means the tri-village strip where American kiteboarding grew up: Watermen's Retreat sits directly beside REAL Watersports with private access to the butter-flat REAL Slick, and a mile north the Waves Village resort hosts the Kitty Hawk Kites school steps from the Pamlico Sound shallows. Waist-deep flat water on the sound side, ocean waves a two-minute walk across NC-12 — and lighthouses, wild horses and beach for the rest of the family.
