You may have first chosen Cape Hatteras for your vacation destination because of the pristine beaches and the southern charm of our Lighthouse View escapes located here, but when you spend some time in the area, you will discover there is so much more to appreciate. The beach you will savor, for example, is a part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which was the first National Seashore, established to preserve the pristine and very important beaches of the barrier islands. This guide to the fun you can have on this vital stretch of beach and the comfort you will find in our Cape Hatteras sanctuaries will give you a beautiful picture of the best vacation experience you can have in the Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras.
This Way to the Beach
You’ve chosen Lighthouse View for your accommodations and all you need to do to get to the National Seashore is just step outside, making this part of your journey an easy one. This protected section of beach offers all manner of fun ways to have an adventure, but if all you want to do is stake your claim on a section, plant your umbrella in the beige sands and sip margaritas as the waves crash, the seagulls caw, and your children frolic, no one will judge. This is your vacation, and although surfing, swimming, and kiteboarding are popular activities, the importance of doing nothing can never be overrated!
Surf Fishing
Surf fishing (fishing from the beach) is another popular activity on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and is another activity that doesn’t require a whole lot of effort; all you need is a chair, a cooler, a pole, and bait, and you can spend the day doing what you have always dreamed of. And when your catch of the day becomes the dinner du jour, everyone in your traveling party will be happy you “worked” so hard for them!
Beachcombing and Building Sandcastles
Your Cape Hatteras vacation is more than likely a family vacation and the beautiful sands will also provide their own adventures, whether you are building sandcastles with your favorite tiny travelers or are simply strolling along the beach, scouring the sand for seashell and sea glass treasures. Another popular hunt, the hunt for shark teeth, will make you a hero in your kid’s eyes adding another thrilling element to your Cape Hatteras Seashore vacation adventures.
