Hotel at a Glance: The Inn on Pamlico Sound

Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, Outer Banks, North Carolina: Iconic Lighthouse and Wildlife Along the National Seashore
Dubbed the “East Coast’s recreational playground” by Frommer’s, the Outer Banks is a string of narrow barrier islands that hugs the northern coast of North Carolina. Vacationers have flocked to the islands’ postcard-worthy beaches and idyllic villages since the 18th century. In the middle of the Outer Banks lies Hatteras Island, a mecca of outdoor watersports including kiteboarding, scuba diving, and surfing.
Roughly three-quarters of the island is protected as part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, nicknamed “Graveyard of the Atlantic” for the many ships that have crashed into its dangerous sandbars during storms. For a panoramic ocean view, climb the 248 steps to the top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, whose iconic exterior is a swirl of black and white stripes. Thanks to the cape’s protected status, the area also supports abundant wildlife, including five species of sea turtles; female loggerhead sea turtles often nest on these beaches.
Farther south lies Ocracoke Island, which is accessible only by ferry. Thanks to its pure water and clean sand, Ocracoke was named America’s Best Beach in 2007 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman—also known as Dr. Beach. Elsewhere on the island, you can glimpse a herd of horses that, though born in captivity, is believed to be descended from Spanish mustangs that washed ashore after shipwrecks centuries ago.
