Cape Hatteras Outer Banks Vacations

Click for a great vacation destination.

Hatteras Island is the perfect combination
of natural world and vacation world.

More than 60 percent of the island is in its nearly natural barrier island state, thanks to Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. The National Seashore offers undeveloped ocean and sound beaches where eco-friendly outdoor recreation is encouraged and wildlife can be seen in its natural habitat. Hatteras Island's seven villages cater to visitors with hotels and motels, rental homes from the luxurious to the simple, restaurants from family style to upscale contemporary, locally owned shops offering just about everything you could need, and recreation opportunities for everyone.

Cape Hatteras offers a simple lifestyle in tune with nature and connected to the roots of its history. The island is a magnet for those who love surfing, kite boarding, wind surfing, fishing, birding, paddling, camping, scuba diving and the beach, for a number of reasons -- mild temperatures for about nine months of the year, abundant and accessible ocean and sound beaches, numerous outfitters and a totally laid-back lifestyle.

Hatteras Island has changed a lot in the four decades since it was connected by bridge to the northern Outer Banks. In that time, visitation has steadily increased so that the island economy is now almost entirely centered on tourism dollars. But the most dramatic changes on Hatteras Island have really occurred in the last five or so years, as developers have scooped up the last remaining island properties and built thousands of new, luxury rental homes, luring more tourists who in turn require more amenities like shopping centers, restaurants and things to do. You'll find everything you need on Hatteras for a great vacation, whether you want a quiet vacation or an active one. Read on to find all the shops, restaurants, hotels, campgrounds, rental companies, attractions and recreational opportunities that are available on Hatteras Island.
