*** So what's the attraction to Cape Hatteras?
It's a little island out of the way of the general hustle & bustle of mainland activities. Yes, it IS remote. Yet plenty folk flock here every year and fall head over heels in love with the Cape Hatteras area.
One reason is that it's not as commercialized as our northern Dare county towns so you won't find most franchised businesses here. No McDonalds, No Kmart, No Walmart.... Y'all can get plenty of that back home or an hours drive north...
Instead Cape Hatteras offers clean sandy beaches, outdoor sporting activities such as chartering a boat to go in-shore fishing or off-shore fishing, surf-fishing, swimming, bicycling, body-surfing, beach-bumming, horseback riding, kite-flying, parasailing, miniature golf, go-carts, kayaking, beachcombing, star-gazing, bird-watching, surfing, windsurfing, sun-gazing, stand-up paddleboarding and more.
There's a wealth of local history to be explored in the local museums. Ride the same waters as Blackbeard the buccaneer via the ferry boat to nearby Ocracoke Island & see the Outer Banks ponies on Ocracoke.
