About this event

Outer Banks, North Carolina - Kitty Hawk to Carolyn's Beach

-A Selfie Cycle Tour


Experience the Outer Banks at the speed of bike.


Easily tie in this tour with your boardwalk hotel stay, your campsite, or start at the tour's convenient parking spot. This unique set of Selfie Cycle Tours brings you three tour options in three different areas of the Outer Banks.


Segment one of this tour has all the bells and whistles you have come to expect with a CycleNuts Selfie Tour - bikeway focused; expertly designed route; points of interest included along the way; easy to navigate; and very sensible options for both long and short distance riders.


Segments two and three are not able to put you on bikeways simply because there are none. There are actually very few roads. In some areas of segments two and three, there is only one road. There is a ridable berm, but is something to consider if you are uncomfortable sharing the road with motor vehicles. Segment one, on the other hand, is a pleasant 74% bikeway route. The three segments are 18, 19, and 54 total miles. The 54 mile segment three leads to Carolyn's Beach, a remote pristine bit of beach on the quiet side of the Cape.


This is a perfect Outer Banks destination adventure tour! It passes through several hotel and campground areas, beaches, and food/entertainment/attractions areas. All three tour segments are outstanding memory makers, especially because of the Outer Bank beauty


Easily, with the Smart-guide, you can wander away from the planned route to explore areas and points of interest that you find along the way. The Smart-guide will get you back on the route when you are ready. Speaking of points of interest, look at this impressive list! Did you say you are riding a fat-tire bike? You might want to for a bit of beach riding.


Points of interest:

  • The beaches - all of them - everywhere!
  • Wild Horse Adventure Tours
  • Wright Brothers Garage Monument
  • Wright Brothers National Memorial
  • Seaside Art Gallery
  • Jockey's Ridge Sand Dunes
  • Bodie Island Lighthouse
  • Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
  • Cape Hatteras National Seashore
  • Carolyn's Beach


The tour is quite level and comes with the CycleNuts 50% downhill guarntee. However, there is the 'invisible' hill - the wind - which blows any which way it decides, or not at all. Sweating is optional, but probably unavoidable. The segments that are not bikeway are commonly cycled roadways when possible. If you are more comfortable using sidewalks in these areas, then you will find some of the roadway segments have sidewalks along the way. "Bicyclists may, but are not required to, utilize any usable path for bicycles that has been provided adjacent to a roadway. Bicycles are permitted on the sidewalks in many municipalities, except in center city areas. Check local ordinances for variations on this rule." source: https://www.bikelaw.com/laws/north-carolina/
