What's the closest airport? Do I need a rental car?

Norfolk International Airport, VA Distance from Kitty Hawk, NC:About 80 Miles Drive Time to Outer Banks:About 1.5 Hours (Depending on Traffic Conditions) American Airlines, Delta, Southwest and United Airlines all fly into this relativity small international airport located near the coast in southeastern Virginia. Norfolk Intentional Airport is the closest in proximity to the Outer Banks of any major airport. Most people who are traveling to the OBX by plane fly into Norfolk. There are opportunities to rent a car to drive from the airport to your vacation rental home, condo or hotel on the barrier islands.

If you arrive in the afternoon on a Saturday in the summer, expect your journey to the OBX to take close to three hours.
