About This Spot

Kill Devil Hills features multiple sandbar peaks along a gently sloping beach. The waves are generally softer than Hatteras, making it a great training ground for lower‑intermediate surfers. Swells from NE to SE light up the peaks, and winter nor'easters can produce overhead surf.

Local Etiquette

Friendly vibe—share waves and don't hog peaks. Respect swimmers and families.
