On Sunday March 9th, the clocks “spring forward” in accordance with Daylight Savings practices. While to many this means an unwelcome, “earlier” wake up time to adjust to, to Kitty Hawk Kites it means an extra hour of daylight and even more time to enjoy a spectacular Outer Banks sunset. Below, we’ve got the perfect guide for how to enjoy the OBX at its most beautiful, in unique and adventurous ways! Find your sunset adventure:
Sunset Wine Tasting with Vineyard Voyage
Hop aboard from the Duck Waterfront Boardwalk and set sail across the Currituck Sound for an unforgettable evening of wine, waves, and breathtaking sunset views. This laid-back cruise takes you on a scenic journey to Sanctuary Vineyards, where you’ll get the full tour—tasting award-winning local wines straight from the source. Then, cruise back just in time to toast the sunset over the water. Whether you’re a wine lover or just looking for a fun way to unwind, this experience is all about good vibes, great wine, and gorgeous Outer Banks scenery.
Sunset Kiteboarding or Wing Foiling Lessons
An afternoon lesson at our watersports school in Rodanthe, NC will allow you the thrill of kiteboarding or wing foiling as the sun slowly sets over the Outer Banks! With expert instructors, you’ll learn to harness the wind and glide across the water in one of the most stunning settings imaginable. Whether you’re a total beginner or looking to level up your skills, our school offers perfect conditions, epic views, and an unforgettable ride.
Sunset Kayak Tours
Paddle into golden hour on a sunset kayak tour! Drift through calm waters as the sky explodes with color, spotting local wildlife along the way. It’s the perfect way to relax, take in the views, and soak up that Outer Banks evening magic.
