Mile 31 is an oceanside spot in the northern section of Hatteras Island, between Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe. The name refers to the mileage marker on NC Highway 12. The beach is completely wild, part of Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge — one of the most isolated sections of the Outer Banks. No development, no houses — just ocean and dunes. Access via Route 12 then on foot. Excellent for wave kiting in a totally pristine setting.
Atlantic ocean waves. Variable shore break depending on swell. Sandy bottom with shifting sandbars. Best conditions in NE to SE side-shore winds. Extremely isolated and wild beach — you may be the only rider for miles. Spectacular downwinder possibilities.
