The wild horses of the Outer Banks are famous throughout the world, and although you won’t be able to ride, pet, or feed them, just seeing them is a treat, and you will be able to get your equestrian fix in in other ways. Horseback riding in Cape Hatteras NC is a popular activity, especially when your ride takes you on the beach, and there are many companies that offer this service in the area. Enabling you to spend a few hours of your Cape Hatteras vacation making your childhood dreams come true, the only thing you may like better than the rides is coming home to Lighthouse View and soaking your aching muscles in a bubbling hot tub!
