In late 2009, the property was redesignated to an AE8 flood zone, confirming that it is one of the strongest beaches on the North Carolina coast. First Flight Retreat is centrally located on some of the widest, most pristine beach on the Outer Banks in Kill Devil Hills at Milepost 8 1/2 on the Beach Road. First Flight Retreat has more than a 22' elevation dune, over 250 linear feet of oceanfront, and a solid stable beach.
Many fine restaurants, shops, and nightlife are within walking distance on the Beach Road and Bypass (Rte-158). Attractions include the Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockeys Ridge State Park, Roanoke Island, and countless watersports activities, fishing, golf and more.
For those new to the Outer Banks, the Town of Kill Devil Hills is centrally located between Kitty Hawk and Nags Head beaches.
