In a historic 1874 US Life Saving Service station on the beach in Kitty Hawk — just steps from where the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in 1903 — the Black Pelican delivers fresh Outer Banks seafood, cold North Carolina craft beers, and one of the most historically significant oceanfront settings on the entire East Coast. The original station building is beautifully preserved; the ocean views are spectacular; and eating fresh local mahi with the Atlantic in your face and the birthplace of flight a mile down the beach is a legitimately extraordinary experience.
