Information:
Cape Hatteras is a barrier island of the north shore of North Carolina. A 70 mile long section extends from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island and the national seashore is managed by the National Parks Service.
Cape Hatteras is a combination of natural and cultural resources, and provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities.
Once dubbed the Graveyard of the Atlantic for its treacherous currents, shoals, and storms, Cape Hatteras has a wealth of history relating to shipwrecks, lighthouses, and the US Lifesaving Service. The islands also provide a variety of habitats and are a valuable wintering area for migrating waterfowl. The park's fishing and surfing are considered the best on the East Coast.
