Kill Devil Hills: Fifth Street Ocean Access
About
Kill Devil Hills: Fifth Street Ocean Access is a public beach access point on the North Carolina coast, managed by the Town of Kill Devil Hills and listed within the Town of Kitty Hawk Beach Access land unit. The town of Kill Devil Hills is about 1.5 miles away. This is a simple access point to the ocean beach, not a trail, so there is no route to plan and no climbing involved. It suits a visit centered on time at the shore. Summer is the warm beach season. Typical averages from the nearby Manteo airport weather station run to highs around 82°F in June and 86°F in July, while September stays mild with highs near 79°F and the fewest rainy days of the warm months. For something beyond the beach, the WB TR Historic Monument Trails are about 1.4 miles away. Farther afield, the FR TR HQ/Lost Colony Admin Bldg Trail lies roughly 7 miles off, and the FR TR Freedmens Trail is about 8 miles away.
