Explore Historic Hatteras Island

Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and explore the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will love being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing just down the road, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.
