Kayaking

The OBX is surrounded by water on every side — and kayaking gives you access to parts of it that most visitors never see. Paddle the calm, shallow waters of the Sounds, explore the tidal creeks and marsh waterways behind the barrier island, or launch into the open ocean if you're experienced enough. Rental shops and guided tours operate up and down the entire island chain. No experience necessary for sound-side paddling — it's one of the most accessible and rewarding ways to experience the OBX from a completely different perspective.
