Outer Banks Live Beach Cam, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
About this camera
Watch the Outer Banks live on this beach cam in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, streaming around the clock from Twiddy and Company Vacation Rentals. It offers real-time ocean views, weather and waves on the OBX.
The Outer Banks are a long chain of narrow barrier islands that separate the Atlantic Ocean from Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. Kitty Hawk, on the northern part of the chain, gave its name to the Wright brothers' first powered flight in December 1903. It actually took place at nearby Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright Brothers National Memorial now stands. The area is also known for Jockey's Ridge, the tallest natural sand dune system on the Atlantic coast, and for its historic lighthouses further south.
The beaches face the open Atlantic, so the surf can be excellent, especially in autumn when hurricanes far offshore send in long swells. Kitty Hawk is popular for surfing, fishing, kiteboarding on the sound and family vacations in oceanfront rental homes. Twiddy has been renting homes on the Outer Banks for decades.
Summer is warm and busy, autumn brings the best surf and fishing, and winter nor'easters can cause beach erosion and overwash. North Carolina uses Eastern Time.
The stream is provided by Twiddy and Company Vacation Rentals.
