Avon Fishing Pier – Avon
You might be sensing a theme here. Piers are great spots for watching Fourth of July fireworks! Further south along Hatteras Island, the best spot for watching 4th of July fireworks is Avon Fishing Pier. Have a front row seat from the shores of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. If the Avon Pier fills up, head over to the Avon Beach Klub for a chance to see the show.
Manteo Fireworks at Roanoke Island Festival Park

Let’s Talk Weather
Your vacation experience may look different depending on the spring month you decide to visit but we can promise you will love it no matter how it plays out. The temperatures will rise as each month passes and the spring showers will lessen the closer you get to summer.
March
March will be the coldest month, offering highs that bump against 60 and lows that nudge at 50, while also being the rainiest, with an average number of eight days of rain in the month. You may not feel like swimming in the frigid waters in March, but a brisk morning walk along water’s edge will offer the perfect way to start the day, and a soak in the hot tub will keep you toasty warm and stress free. There are fewer crowds on Cape Hatteras this month, and although there is more rain, we think you will find charm in spending a rainy night at home, sipping hot cocoa, watching movies, and letting the storm rage outside the windows of your escape.
April
The mercury begins to rise in April, offering day and night lows of approximately 65 and 55 degrees respectively. The number of rainy days lowers from eight to six, and although there may be a small increase in tourists, the attractions you visit will still mostly be uncrowded, restaurants will rarely have wait times, and the beaches will remain quiet and serene. The hot tub will still be a popular activity, perhaps enjoyed in the evening hours to help guests feel more relaxed and as the sun makes its appearance more frequently, your beach walks may be extended into the nighttime hours.
May
The temperatures rise again, this time hovering around the mid-70s and mid-60s at night, the rains still average six days of the month, and the beaches begin to become populated with locals, knowing that after Memorial Day, the quiet peace will be disrupted by the hordes of happy travelers who flock to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore every summer. In May, Cape Hatteras remains an idyllic spring paradise and travelers who come from colder climates may find themselves enjoying a chilly dip in the afternoons when the sun is at its highest.
Outdoor Adventures
On the nicest days, you will want to get outside and explore the outdoor adventures that make the Outer Banks such a popular destination spot. This might be a wonderful time to take family photos while standing at the base of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (it is closed for tours until 2026 as it is being renovated), even if it is cloudy and on the verge of rain, because moody skies can add an extra element of drama to your standard pictures. This might be a good time for a road trip to Manteo and a visit to the Elizabethan Gardens, located just under 60 miles away from your Lighthouse View spring retreat at 1411 National Park Drive in Manteo. April showers bring May flowers, and your walk along the paths that traverse this 10-acre stretch of paradise will be aromatic and serene. Visitors may want to explore where the wild horses of the Outer Banks are known to roam, or, for those who have a distinct sense of adventures, a horseback ride on the beach, offered by Hatteras Island Horseback Riding (Ramp 55 Park Service Parking Lot) may take you to the greatest heights of happiness!
Spring Events and Festivals
The best way to get to know the places you travel to is by attending the local festivals they offer and these spring events and festivals are sure to add impact to your vacation experience, giving you a greater understanding of what makes Cape Hatteras and the entire Outer Banks a wonderful spring destination.
Hatteras Village Waterfowl Festival, March 21 & 22, Hatteras Village Civic Center & Various Locations
This fowl event has been a popular one for about five years now, offering bird watching events, guided painting workshops, interactive experiences with birds of prey, a duck calling contest, and so much more. The festival begins with the Fin, Feather, & Bourbon dinner, featuring a menu of chicken and seafood, desserts that will sweeten the sourest of dispositions, and a wonderful selection of bourbon, cocktails, beer, and wine. Also offering an art show, vendors selling arts and crafts, and decoy and wood art exhibits, this event will enhance your early spring vacation. Generally, the Hatteras Village Waterfowl Festival is held in February, but bad weather forced it to be postponed until March, something that is greatly beneficial to our spring travelers.
Outer Banks Taste of the Beach, April 4-6, Various Locations
Vacation adventures are made more enjoyable by the foods we eat while traveling, and the restaurants of Cape Hatteras and the entire Outer Banks are known to be something special. For those visiting during the week of April 4 through 6th, however, the Outer Banks Taste of the Beach will take your dining experiences to all new heights! A variety of restaurants across the Outer Banks will be offering special menus, including Good Winds Restaurant, located at 34502 NC-12 in Rodanthe.
On April 4th this year, they will be featuring an event they call Sips and Savories: Bourbon and Brews Dinner, offering a curated three-course dinner paired with bourbon and beers. Ticket prices are $40 per person for a no alcohol feast or $60 for the alcohol. On April 5th the restaurant will offer another special event, their Vines and Views: A Wine Tasting on the Sound, which obviously celebrates good wine and beautiful views. Their three-course tasting menu will offer appetizers, an entrée, dessert all paired perfectly with wine and craft beers. Tickets are also $40 and $60 per person. The event ends with a champagne brunch on April 6th and tickets for that tasty event will be a little lower, just $35 and $45 dollars for a four-course meal you will never forget.
Rainy Days Are Perfect Museum Days
It is spring in North Carolina, and as we stated, there will be rainy days but when you spend those rainy days exploring the museums we have listed below, we don’t think you will mind the extra moisture in the air!
Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, 59200 Museum Drive in Hatteras
A maritime museum focusing on the ships that lie at the bottom of the Atlantic, the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is dedicating to preserving the memory and the history of all those lost at sea. Closed on weekends and state holidays, this museum tells the stories of the thousands of shipwrecks that litter the bottom of the Atlantic off the Outer Banks with the use of artifacts, recreations, movies, and photographs.
Museums of the Sea, 46377 Lighthouse Road in Buxton
Located inside what used to be the lighthouse keeper’s residence, the Museums of the Sea focuses on the maritime and barrier island history of the Outer Banks. The two-story white painted structure stands in a grassy meadow, looking like a farmhouse in the country, but the black and white lighthouse standing in the background will serve as a reminder that no, you aren’t at a country farmhouse, and this building once played an important part in protecting the ships at sea. Offering artifacts that include cannon balls, captain’s uniforms, and an authentic binnacle (housing for a ship’s compass) as well as offering models of a variety of boats, this museum complements your previous visit to the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center, 53536 NC Highway 12 in Frisco
We’re leaving the sea and focusing on our Native American and natural history in the Outer Banks with a visit to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center. Located inside a building that is nearly 100 years old and offering a comprehensive history of the Native Americans who were the first residents in this area, it also offers nature trails that traverse the lush landscape for which North Carolina is famous. Surviving several hurricanes and growing and adapting as each year passes, the gift shop of this museum is an ideal spot for purchasing out of the ordinary souvenirs that will remind you of your time on Cape Hatteras and all the exciting spring adventures you enjoyed.
Our Lighthouse View Spring Sanctuaries
Your time in Cape Hatteras and the surrounding islands and towns will be where some of your best memories are made, especially during the times you spend relaxing at home in our Lighthouse View retreats. Honoring our history and our humble beginnings as a quiet motel that just happened to have the best views of the ocean, today you can choose from a selection of rooms, suites, and cottages, all offering breathtaking views and welcoming vibes that will make you feel at home within your first few seconds inside. Southern hospitality is at the forefront in these special escapes, and your spring in North Carolina on Cape Hatteras wouldn’t be the same without our spaces and the amenities they offer.
Room for Two
Our charming hotel rooms actually offer room for as many as four or could simply provide respite to the solo traveler, but we like to think of them as romantic love nests built for two. Most will offer ocean views, although a couple do sit facing the pool, these rooms also provide a kitchenette of source including a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge, a state of the art television, and the most comfortable beds in the state.
A Little More Room
Families that are on the smaller side may prefer to choose our suites for their vacation accommodations, offering the room for as many as five people. Providing a fully equipped kitchen and a bedroom with a door that shuts out the world, ocean views make them special and a cheerful vibe will make them feel like home. Separate living and dining rooms give the space the feel of a condo instead of hotel suite and a beach décor complements the views that you can see from nearly every window, although a couple of these units also face the pool.
Charm, Romance, and Grace
Beachfront cottages have played second billing in Hallmark romance movies for as long as they have been making them, but if they used our cottages, we can assure you they would steal the show. The weathered shingles, unique shapes, and comfortable amenities will make you wish you never had to return to real life. These structures come in a variety of sizes, offering room for as many as 12 guests, and featuring wrap around decks, stunning ocean views, and of course, all the comforts of home.
Community Amenities and More
Your time spent in our Lighthouse View escapes will be a peaceful time, and as you start and end every day with a walk along the sand, feeling the serenity of the sea deep in your bones, watch the sun set from your spot on the generously sized decks, you can also enjoy community amenities that include a swimming pool, hot tub, and barbecue area, as well as a fish cleaning station so you don’t have to do the yucky stuff in your retreat. Reserve your favorite Lighthouse View spring sanctuary today!
If you’re not quite convinced that Cape Hatteras is where you want to visit during your 2025 vacation or you have decided on Cape Hatteras, but aren’t exactly sure where you should stay, you have made your way to the right place. We at Lighthouse View are passionate about Cape Hatteras, and we are dedicated to providing every traveler oceanfront lodging and a beachy escape that will change the way you want to vacation forever. And so, because we are so convinced you won’t be happy if you stay anywhere else, these 10 reasons to book our Cape Hatteras oceanfront rentals will help convince you to see things our way!
Reason #10: Room for Everyone in Your Traveling Party
Our spaces are spacious enough to make everyone in your traveling party feel comfortable. Lighthouse View is known for its variety of escapes, ranging from large motel rooms to generously sized oceanfront cottages, ensuring that however many are in your group, you will find the space that has room for everyone! Solo travelers may prefer our hotel rooms, furnished with comfy beds, small kitchenettes that will meet your snacking or breakfast needs, and state of the art televisions, should you be able to tear yourself away from the views. Couples or small families may prefer the comfort found in our oceanfront suites, rooms that are a little larger, offering seating areas, fully equipped kitchens, and private bedrooms with doors that can shut out the world. And anyone may choose a charming beach cottage, offering room for up to 16 guests (or more if you rent side by side cottages) and a North Carolina vacation experience that will be filled with the most wonderful memories.
Reason #9: All the Comforts of Home
Not all vacation rental companies understand the importance of comfort, and if you have ever spent a vacation sleeping in lumpy beds, sitting on hard and scratchy chairs and sofas, or simply being forced to use towels that are threadbare, tiny, and feel rough against your skin, you know exactly what we mean. Our rooms, suites, and cottages are designed with your comfort in mind, offering sofas that will provide the best naps, cushioned chairs that will keep your personal seat feeling comfortable and not numb at all, no matter how long you stay seated, and when you crawl between the silky linens that top our premium mattresses, our pillows will be plump, and not a lump, bump, or spring will be detected as you drift into the best night’s sleep of your life. Our attention to all the details and our abhorrence of discomfort will give you a vacation filled with all the comforts of home.
Reason #8: Modern Conveniences Matter
We’re proud of the comfort and style we provide, and we’re even more proud to be able to offer the modern conveniences that matter to travelers who have learned to expect more from their vacation accommodations. Even our cozy hotel rooms are equipped with modern televisions, and appliances such as microwaves, coffee makers, and mini fridges, and as you look into our suites and cottages that provide fully equipped kitchens, you will feel at home even as you are far from your own home. High-speed internet will allow hardworking vacationers the opportunity to work from our properties, perhaps extending your stay a little longer than you might have been able to otherwise. Air conditioning ensures that summer visits will be comfortable and ceiling fans will make your indoor adventures that much cooler as you watch televisions that may be Smart TVs streaming your favorite shows and enticing you to take a lazy afternoon nap on the hottest of days.
Reason #7: Making Your Friends Jealous
Remember last year when your bestie took that trip to Japan with someone else who wasn’t you? You were happy that she got to experience the culture, the beauty, and the wonders of Japan, but you couldn’t help feeling a little jealous that you weren’t her companion; she is YOUR best friend after all. When she sees the pictures you post on your social media sites, pictures of the sea in all her moods, the sandcastles you built with the kids at water’s edge, the giant smile on your face as you and your hubs stand arm in arm, smiling big smiles in front of our Lighthouse View cottages, she won’t be able to help being jealous either! Especially when you return with sun bleached hair, lightly tanned skin, and we promise, the delight you take in that jealousy won’t make you petty, it just proves you’re human.
Reason #6: Uniquely Lighthouse View
For nearly every Cape Hatteras oceanfront rental, there are dozens more that look exactly like it, but our Lighthouse View retreats have broken the mold. Our rooms and suites are housed in buildings that could have come from another famous Cape—Cape Cod to be more exact, offering shingle siding that weathers to a stunning gray over years of exposure. The cottages, created with the same materials, offer yet another unique style, built to maximize the views you won’t be able to live without and letting in the sunshine, keeping every room light and bright. Many of the cottages are circular in shape, offering multiple levels and featuring wrap around decks with plenty of seating options, ensuring that even the largest traveling groups will find ringside seats to the sunset and ocean views that they can call their own. Most are built on stilts, giving the appearance of a beautiful and leggy female, and the bottom level, the one that is not meant to be living quarters, may offer covered parking spots and in one particularly memorable case, a hammock tied between two posts, presenting guests the opportunity to nap while sea breezes gently rock the hammock and the sea provides a lullaby that people have been trying for years to recreate in sleep machines and apps designed to help the owners fall to sleep.
Reason #5: Location, Location, Location
Cape Hatteras is a barrier island located in the Outer Banks, just off the East Coast of North Carolina, and has been a popular vacation destination since not long after the Civil War. Offering history, a stunning natural land and seascape, the Cape offers sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, and a proximity to some of the most famous landmarks in the nation, including Kitty Hawk, the spot where the Wright Brothers brought flight to the humans. Now, obviously you were already planning on visiting and probably knew all of the above, but did you know that our Lighthouse View escapes are located in such close proximity you can spend more time playing and exploring and far less time fighting traffic? The first and closest “landmark” is the beach that lies just outside your front door, and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is just a mile and a half down the road. You won’t even need to get in a car and drive; you can just slip on your flip flops and meander over on foot. Kitty Hawk is a little further away, located just over 60 miles away, but the commute is destined to be the most beautiful one you have ever experienced, making it well worth the time it takes to get there!
Reason #4: Those Views
Having lived here most of our lives, we understand all the ways beach life is the only life we want to lead, and if you are traveling all these miles to land on our doorstep, of course your accommodations should be ocean front. We warn you, however, once you experience the serenity the sea offers, you will never want to live anywhere else, and although we can’t help make Cape Hatteras your new hometown, we can provide the impetus for your move. Offering ocean views from nearly every window in every room, you can’t help but spend many minutes lost in a trance staring out at views that will burrow their way into your heart. Balconies lined with chairs will bring you even closer to the views, adding the scent of sea water, the sounds of the waves crashing against sandy shores, and the feeling of salty breezes kissing your cheeks and tousling your hair. So, kick off your shoes, prepare a tropical beverage, and sink into the chairs that will be the most popular seats in the house, stockpiling memories that will be tucked away and reexamined over and over and over again, only ceasing when you are able to return to Cape Hatteras and begin creating new ones!
Reason #3: Community Amenities
Less can be more when it comes to crowds, lines, and hours spent at work, but when it comes to your comfort and opportunities to have fun during vacation, more is the only correct answer, and our Lighthouse View community amenities will add to your North Carolina vacation experience. First, there is the pool, crystal-clear, cool, and providing an alternative to swimming in salt water. Not everyone is a fan of sharing the water with anyone other than humans, and because our pool is built at sand’s edge, you can still enjoy an authentic ocean experience, minus the swimming with the fishes part! Surrounded by lounge chairs, guests can sip their favorite beverages (no glass, please) and work on their tans as waves crash against the sand nearby and the sound of sea birds crying out triumphantly as they swoop in for a sandwich, snatched from the unsuspecting hands of beach goers (or a too slow fish from the water), fills their ears. Feeling achy and stressed from your travels across the nation? A bubbling community hot tub lies just steps away from the pool, adding healing, relaxation, and a touch of romance to your outdoor adventures. The community also features a grill area, perhaps to be utilized by grilling your catch of the day from your fishing expedition earlier in the trip, and although the individual Cape Hatteras oceanfront rentals do not offer their own laundry areas, a community, coin operated laundry room is available for all guests to use.
Reason #2: The Entire Family Is Invited
Our four-legged family members are the most loyal, loving, and most deserving of a vacation adventure, but we often treat them as just another chore, hiring the neighbor kid, to get the mail, water the plants, and oh yeah, could you feed and walk little Zoe twice a day? Your Cape Hatteras vacation in North Carolina, however, does not have to be that way, as Lighthouse View also offers a selection of rentals that are pet friendly. Bring your precious pooch along for the ultimate in family vacations, introducing her to the joys of sea life and finding your own joy when she falls in love with the sea as much as you do. Dogs are allowed on the beaches of Cape Hatteras, but they must be on a six-foot or shorter leash at all times, which will not lessen their excitement or level of joy.
Reason #1: Our Rentals Welcome Everyone
Travelers want a lot from their vacation accommodations, but after comfort, perhaps the one thing they desire most is to be welcomed and to feel at home even as they are far from their own. The Lighthouse View difference will be apparent within your first steps inside, and as you revel in beach life, savor community amenities, and simply rest and recharge batteries that have been drained from real life experiences, you will feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. We don’t consider our jobs well done if you don’t have a vacation that you will remember with glee for years to come. Reserve your favorite Cape Hatteras escape with us at Lighthouse View today!
Spring is a magical time in Cape Hatteras, as the season breathes new life into the landscape. The mild temperatures, fresh coastal breeze, and longer days create the perfect setting for outdoor adventure. Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or challenge yourself, there are plenty of ways to experience the beauty of nature. Here are some of the best outdoor Hatteras activities to make the most of your spring getaway.
Beachcombing and Shell Collecting
Spring tides and gentle waves make for fantastic beachcombing opportunities. With fewer visitors compared to the summer months, you’ll have miles of shoreline nearly to yourself, allowing you to discover a variety of unique shells, driftwood, and other ocean treasures. The ever-changing coastline ensures that no two visits will yield the same finds, making every stroll a new adventure.ç
Surfing and Paddleboarding
Cape Hatteras is renowned for its excellent surf conditions, and springtime offers the ideal mix of consistent waves and milder waters. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a beginner looking to take a lesson, the ocean is welcoming in this season. Paddleboarding is another great way to take in the scenic views while enjoying a peaceful yet engaging workout on the water.
Birdwatching and Wildlife Observation
Spring is a peak time for birdwatching as migratory species make their return, filling the skies and marshlands with movement and song. Nature lovers will appreciate the chance to observe ospreys, pelicans, and a variety of shorebirds in their natural habitat. Keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the surf and wild flora beginning to bloom across the landscape, adding splashes of color to the scenery.
Fishing and Crabbing
Anglers will find that spring offers some of the best fishing conditions, with an abundance of species making their way through the coastal waters. Whether casting from the shore, wading in the shallows, or heading out on a boat, there’s always a chance to reel in a great catch. Crabbing is another fun and rewarding activity, offering a hands-on way to engage with the local waters and even bring home a fresh seafood dinner.
Hiking and Nature Trails
Exploring the outdoors on foot is one of the best ways to experience the natural beauty of Cape Hatteras. Springtime brings cool breezes and comfortable walking conditions, making it an ideal time for hiking. Trails wind through maritime forests, over sand dunes, and along coastal marshes, offering breathtaking views and opportunities to spot native wildlife. Each path provides a unique glimpse into the diverse ecosystems that make this region special.
Kite Flying
With steady ocean breezes, Cape Hatteras is a perfect place for kite flying. Whether you bring a simple diamond-shaped kite or a high-performance stunt kite, the open skies provide the perfect playground for this nostalgic pastime. It’s a relaxing and visually captivating way to spend an afternoon, whether solo or with family and friends.
Kayaking and Canoeing
For a peaceful yet immersive outdoor experience, kayaking or canoeing through the local waterways is a must. Paddling through calm sounds, inlets, and estuaries allows for a closer connection with nature. Glide past marsh grasses, encounter coastal wildlife, and soak in the serenity of the surroundings at your own pace. The mild temperatures of spring make these excursions even more enjoyable.
Sunset and Sunrise Watching
There’s something truly mesmerizing about watching the sun rise or set over the horizon. The vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple reflecting off the water create a breathtaking spectacle. Spring provides some of the most vivid and dramatic sky displays, making it a prime season for sunrise and sunset enthusiasts. Whether you prefer greeting the day with a peaceful morning coffee or winding down in the evening with a relaxing view, these moments are unforgettable.
Biking Along the Coast
Cycling is a fantastic way to explore Cape Hatteras, offering both scenic beauty and a bit of exercise. With fewer cars on the roads during spring, bikers can enjoy a more relaxed ride, taking in the salty air and stunning coastal views. Whether you prefer a leisurely ride along paved paths or an adventurous off-road experience, biking offers an engaging way to see the area from a fresh perspective.
