A thin broken strand of islands curves out into the Atlantic Ocean and then back again in a sheltering embrace of North Carolina's mainland coast and its offshore sounds. These are the Outer Banks of North Carolina. For thousands of years these barrier islands have survived the onslaught of wind and sea. Today their long stretches of beach, sand dunes, marshes, and woodlands are set aside as Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
We invite you to visit our site - whether your interest is in the general history of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, educational supplements, maps or current exhibits, you'll find a wealth of information below: |
