Hatteras Island

Hatteras Village is homeport for the island's famous charter fishing fleet. Nearby offshore Gulf Stream waters offer bottom fishing for snapper, dolphin, grouper, trigger fish and sea bass. Flounder, croaker, sea bass, bluefish and trout are caught in the inshore waters. Numerous restaurants offer a bounty of fresh caught fish and other seafood.

Large, wide open spaces - that's what Hatteras Island, North Carolina is all about!  A 72 mile stretch from Nags Head to Ocracoke Island was designated as the nation's first National Seashore in 1953. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore encompasses some of the most historic and environmentally fragile land in the world.       

Hatteras Island definitely has a history all it's own. In the 16th century, Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci landed on the beaches of Hatteras, German U-boats washed up on the same beaches over 400 years later and somewhere in between the beaches were terrorized by the likes of the infamous Blackbeard.

The northern part of the island is dotted by the towns of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo.  The southern part of the island is dotted with the towns of Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras Village.
