Real life can often interfere in our taking the best care of ourselves as we spend too much time working, not enough time sleeping, and take the easy way out when it comes to health and nutrition, eating fast food and skipping workouts. A vacation on Cape Hatteras, however, can make us WANT to do something different, and when you find yourself searching for yoga classes, healthy restaurants, or day spas, Lighthouse View is here for you. This guide to your Cape Hatteras health and wellness journey was created to help you take care of you during your North Carolina trip of a lifetime!
Day 1: Start Your Day with a Yoga Class from Dare to Yoga Studio & Wellness, Hatteras
The truth of the matter is you can practice your favorite poses practically anywhere, and you may decide that the balcony of your Lighthouse View cottage is the best place for you, starting each morning moving through all the poses as the roar of the sea encourages inner peace and serenity. But if you find yourself needing more structure, Dare to Yoga Studio, located at 56910 North Carolina 12 in Hatteras, will give you whatever you need. Drop-ins are welcome and a variety of classes are offered every day of the week except Thursday.
Day 2: Outdoor Activities That Will Benefit Mind & Body
On your second day on Cape Hatteras, you may find yourself a little fidgety, wanting to get outside and play, and the activities listed below can help fill in the hours.
Hatteras Watersports for your SUP Needs, 27130 North Carolina Highway 12 in Salvo
Stand up paddleboarding, also known as SUP, offers a full body workout that doesn’t put stress on joints and can help you develop the inner peace we all seek. Hatteras Watersports offers equipment rental and free lessons for beginning paddleboarders.
Hatteras Watersports Rents Kayaks Too
The sound the paddle makes as it breaks the surface of the water, the views of birds, animals, reptiles, and amphibians, and the feeling of peace and serenity you will feel during a kayaking adventure on Cape Hatteras can all be experienced when you rent a kayak from Hatteras Watersports. There just aren’t enough words in the English dictionary that will make you understand how fulfilling this adventure will be, and on your second day on the Cape, you can divide your time between SUP and kayak, trading in your board for a kayak after a morning of SUP adventures.
Day 3: Treat Yourself
Stress is an everyday occurrence at work, at play, even at travel, but on day three of your Cape Hatteras health and wellness journey, we are going to explore ways to treat yourself, to help you respond to stress differently. Try all of the experiences listed below in one day, spread them out over your vacation, or simply choose the one item that you think will best help you treat yourself.

Your journey has taken you all over Cape Hatteras, offering all kinds of ways to ensure that you will feel better, but it is time to take this party home to Lighthouse View. Sometimes the best way to heal is to be spoiled, and as you watch the sunset over the sea from the balcony of your retreat, take a nap on a lazy Tuesday afternoon, or prepare a home-cooked seafood dinner that you caught yourself during an earlier fishing adventure, you won’t want your time in the Outer Banks to ever end. Reserve your favorite escape today!
