Hatteras - In 1953, a 72-mile stretch of the Outer Banks from Nags Head to Ocracoke Island was set aside as the nation's first National Seashore. Today, most of Hatteras Island remains protected by that designation and is a one of the country's most visited National Parks. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore encompasses some of the most historic and environmentally fragile real estate in the world and is a paradox in many ways. The Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci set foot on the beach here in the 16th Century. Four hundred years later, the wreckage of ships destroyed by German U-boats washed up on the same beaches. Blackbeard the Pirate once terrorized shipping from his base at Ocracoke. Today, the only terrifying aspect of a trip to the beautiful Hatteras island is a wait at the ferry docks. Wind and water shape Hatteras island's dunes and inlets, and yet a maritime forest at Buxton provides a calm oasis. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, tallest in the nation, was nearly claimed by the Atlantic Ocean but was rescued in the nick of time in 1999 by moving the entire structure away from the sea.

But perhaps most importantly is the fact that Hatteras Island is one of the last places on earth where you can go on the http://www.usacitylink.com/usa/Fourth of July weekend and stake out a stretch of beach to call your very own. Sourced with thanks from Hatteras NC Hotels and Motel on Hatteras Island - Hatteras Island runs North to South along Hwy 12, and is accessible by crossing over the Oregon Inlet Bridge, or by taking a short ferry trip from Ocracoke, North to Cape Hatteras. Consisting of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras, this island is surrounded by water with the Pamlico Sound on the West and the Atlantic Ocean on the East.
