North of Nags Head is Jockey's Ridge SP, Kill Devils Hill; site of the first airplane flight, Kitty Hawk and other places of interest. Near Kitty Hawk is the Wright Memorial bridge. This crosses the Currituck Sound via U.S. Hwy 158. First bridged across in 1931, this was one of the earliest access via a bridge to the Outer banks. Vacationers from Virginia and northward were the first to have easy access to the beaches.
