Cape Hatteras North Carolina Site no: EC011

At a Glance

For endless unspoiled sand and surf, head for this oceanfront parc on the Outer Banks. It’s just a few steps from your parc, over the dunes and right to the Atlantic. Walk the beach for miles, hunting for shells, casting for bluefish and scouring the surface for dolphins that can often be seen. Or head across this sliver of an island, it’s just a quarter of a mile wide, to Pamlico Sound, where windsurfers and kiteboarders are frequently found. There’s also a full roster of summer activities at the campground - everything from pool games to basketball tournaments, craft activities like bead jewellery making, live skits and live music provided by the Summershiners. Entertain yourself renting a kayak or paddleboat. Cool off with a dip in either of two pools or grab a bite to eat at the poolside café. There is also a fun train, jumping pillow (like a bouncy castle), kayak rental, cycle hire, mini golf and fishing available on this parc so you will never be short of things to do.

Attractions

Cape Hatteras National Seashore

This is the first national seashore in the country and includes a combination of natural and historic attractions, such as lighthouses and lifesaving stations. Picnic, camping, and interpretive programs are offered seasonally at various locations. Open year round.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

Known as 'the Big Barber Pole', Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the nation. At 208 feet tall, the lighthouse's warning light can be seen from 20 miles out to sea. From April to mid-October, visitors are welcome to climb the 268 steps to the top for a spectacular view of the national seashore.

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge

Established 70 years ago as a conservatory, the 6,000 acre reserve is home to more than 365 species of birds plus the endangered loggerhead sea turtles. Bring your camera; Pea Island is a shutterbug's and birdwatcher's paradise. Observation platforms are near the parking areas.

Shipwrecks - The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum

The waters of Hatteras are thought to hold one of the highest densities of shipwrecked vessels in the world. Thousands of ships and countless mariners all lost the same battle in the shores of the Outer Banks: the battle against piracy, war and the sea itself. This innovative museum is more than a collection of sunken ships and wayward dreams.

The Lost Colony

Experience the wonder of the New World as it is reenacted before your eyes in the nation's longest running outdoor drama. It's the story of 117 men, women and children settling the first colony on this country's shores. What happened next has become one of the oldest mysteries in America. With hard times ahead, the settlers sent one man back to England for supplies. He was unable to return for three years and when he did, they all had vanished. Written by Pulitzer Prizewinner Paul Green and performed under the stars at the beautiful Waterside Theatre, the show has thrilled over three million visitors since its debut in 1937. With its unique blend of drama, stirring music, energetic dance and dazzling costumes, The Lost Colony is the perfect vacation entertainment for your entire family.

North Carolina Aquariums

Located on Roanoke Island, at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Fisher, the Aquariums were established in 1976 to promote an awareness, understanding, appreciation, and conservation of the diverse natural and cultural resources associated with North Carolina's ocean, estuaries, rivers, streams, and other aquatic environments.

Wright Brothers National Memorial

Visit the monument celebrating where man first took flight located near Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Containing a recently refurbished replica of the original Wright Flyer as well as other memorabilia of the First Flight, the Wright Brothers National Memorial and Visitor Center commemorates one of America's historic moments. A nearby sand dune supports the Memorial Pylon. On the extensive grounds around the visitor center/museum there are historical markers and a reconstructed hanger and shop.
