Don't get too freaked out when you go UP and over the water on a couple bridges near the banks. Kinda cool tho.Just as weird too is, once on the banks, you have sand dunes on both sides of the road, homes built on stilts. Kill Devil Hills--Home of the Wright Bros 1st flight, Light house tours, aquarium nearby, same name souvenir shops all the way down (cool stuff tho) oh and some Crab shack restaurant that will have you shakin' yer head cuz of it's name.
If you have a diesel truck, we got fuel at a Shell station on the right (at least it was a Shell 3 yrs ago) south of KDH and just a smidgen before you turn left towards the banks.
