This is worth the trip and even if you went to Bodie you need to stop here too. Again you need to arrive early and get your ticket for you appointment time to ascend the lighthouse. Climbs begin the third Friday of April. Ticket sales begin at 8:15 a.m. Climbing tours will begin at 9 a.m. and will run every... More

Have stopped at various locations along the National Seashore & I love it more each time! There are stretches where you can walk without ever seeing another person - the beaches there are just perfect!

We arrived at about 7:00 pm on September 24th without reservations. Only the Okracoke Island campground of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore accepts reservations. There was nobody to welcome us at the ranger station, so we just found an empty camping site and parked. RVs are accommodated on most of the sites, but there is a section set aside just... More

I guess my expectations were not accurate. I imagined a drive where I would see the shore most of the way. The drive was 2 hours from Kill Devil Hills and there were just a few sights to enjoy, such as the Bodie Island Lighthouse, the Hatteras Lighthouse and a few pull outs with views of the beaches or the...

While staying in Kill Devil Hills, we drove as far as we could south...and as far as we could north. The Ocracoke Ferry was closed due to "shoaling", but that was fine. We went out for a walk on the beach and were delighted to find some nice shells, some warming sunshine, lots of pelicans - including one that walked... More

We stayed near Kitty Hawk and drove to Cape Hatteras one day. It is actually a really pretty site. There is a smal museum on the other side of the lighthouse which has some interesting facts. There are also great views and photo ops on top of the lighthouse, although the climb was exhausting and I am in good shape.... More

We have been to Hatteras, N.C. the past two years and will return again this summer. We go the first week in June. The weather has been great. It is one of the best places in the country to Kite Sail and Wind Surf. You can rent houses on the beach or across the road from the beach. Often the... More

This is one of the most beautiful places anyone could stay. Go beach combing and bring home shells fresh from the ocean. Relax in the sand or go exploring this islands rich history. So many activities from mini-golf, to surfing, wild horse spotting or deep sea fishing-this is the place to be. You can fill your schedule or just relax... More
