Why go there?
Cape Hatteras National Seashore preserves a 70-mile long stretch of the Outer Banks of North Carolina from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island. These islands are constantly changing shape due to the forces of water, wind, and storms. The plants, wildlife, and people who live here have to adapt continually. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a great place to enjoy the beach, kayak the sound, or climb the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. There is also a variety of wildlife to see including dolphins, sea turtles, and bald eagles. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a great place to spend a day or a week.
