Have Yourself a Beach Day
Cape Hatteras is best known for its breathtaking beaches with miles of sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. Spend your days basking in the sun, building sandcastles, or taking refreshing dips in the Atlantic.
Bring all your favorite snacks and foods for a picnic. Set up a net for an exciting game of beach volleyball. Or take it easier, and enjoy a long, leisurely walk along the shore as the waves lap your feet.
Don’t forget to bring your kite! The steady coastal breezes make Cape Hatteras a prime spot for kite flying (and kiteboarding if you’re looking to try something new! Why not take a lesson this Labor Day?) Every moment at the Cape Hatteras seashore will feel like your own personal slice of paradise.

Join or Watch a Fishing Tournament
If you’re an angler or just love watching the thrill of the catch, you can watch the Billfish Tournament that’s happening on Labor Day at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center in Nags Head. The area’s rich waters are teeming with a variety of fish, like marlin’s! If you prefer to stay local to Hatteras, you can get a fishing license and visit the Hatteras Island Fishing Pier or the Avon Fishing Pier to try your luck or watch local anglers reel in a catch for Labor Day. Even if you don’t catch anything, the camaraderie and excitement make it well worth attending.
Visit the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
