Activities Page Enough to Do - Far Enough To Get Away
The locality can probably best be described
as the most uncongested resort area in the U.S. Forty years
ago the National Park Service took title to all the land on this 50
mile long island, excepting that land contained in or adjacent to the
seven various villages: Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton (Cape
Hatteras), Frisco and Hatteras. Consequently, anyone who so desires may
enjoy a sense of privacy to a degree of thier own choosing while sun
bathing, fishing, shelling, and driftwood hunting. Dress strictly
informal.

Bird Watching- Cape Hatteras is supposed to have the largest variety of
birds in the U.S.
Birders know Cape Hatteras as a place where sea, sand, and
marsh combine to create exciting birding opportunities year-round. From
tiny Piping Plovers to majestic Tundra Swans to powerful Peregrine
Falcons, the birds of the island are as varied as they are abundant and
accessible.

Windsurfing, as well as surfing, has become a big sport here at Cape
Hatteras. Conditions are ideal. Equipment may be rented in Buxton. We

Eastern Seaboard and are one of the closest motels to the famous
sinsurfing spot "The Canadian Hole."

foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large
