Experience the Kitty Hawk Krawls: Guided Beach Crawls Along the Kitty Hawk Shoreline
The Kitty Hawk Krawls beach crawls aren’t just a ride—they’re a celebration of Jeep® culture at the beach. Whether you’re a seasoned off-roader or just looking for an iconic Outer Banks Jeep® experience, the Krawls offer the perfect mix of sand, surf, and Jeep® family fun.
Expanded in 2025, this fan-favorite OBX Jeep Mutiny activity was extended*— an extra mile of sand, surf, and Jeep® family fun. The guided crawl starts in Kitty Hawk at Byrd Street, taking Jeeps along the scenic Kitty Hawk shoreline, rolling past the original entry point and continuing all the way to the familiar exit.
