Kitty Hawk: Hawks St.
About
Hawks St. is a public beach access point in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, managed by the Town of Kitty Hawk. It sits about 1.2 miles from the town of Kitty Hawk and offers an accessible route to the sand along with parking. This is a simple access point rather than a trail, so there's no climb or mileage to plan around. Arrive, park, and head onto the beach. The accessible access makes it a practical choice for visitors who need an easier path to the shore. For mild beach weather, late spring and early fall work well. Typical averages from the Manteo airport weather station, about 11 miles away, show highs around 75°F in May and 79°F in September, while July peaks near 86°F. Nearby, the WB TR Historic Monument Trails are about 4.6 miles away, and the FR TR HQ/Lost Colony Admin Bldg Trail lies roughly 9.8 miles off. Both are good options for adding a walk to a beach day.
