Hatteras Island

From the top of the new Oregon Inlet Bridge a clear view of the majesty of Hatteras Island greets us. This 50-mile ribbon of land separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Pamlico Sound and includes the villages of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras.  Miles and miles of pristine, undeveloped beaches, the National Park Service’s Cape Hatteras National Seashore, join these villages. Four wheel drive access on the seashore beaches is allowed by permit giving surf fishing enthusiasts ample opportunity to find their sweet spot.
