Kite Point is primarily a world-class kiteboarding and windsurfing destination on the Pamlico Sound side of Hatteras Island, between Avon and Buxton. The shallow, flat-water conditions (2-4 feet deep for hundreds of yards) make it ideal for kiting rather than surfing. Ocean-side surf nearby at Buxton and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse breaks offer far better wave-riding options.
