Review:

Canadian Hole is one of the most popular Pamlico Sound side beaches on Hatteras Island. Albeit a rather strangely named beach, Canadian Hole has long been well known among water sports aficionados. The sound has some of the best wind and water conditions, attracting fans of windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kiteboarding all year round.

The beach is also popular with young families, who enjoy the quiet waters. The water is shallow for several hundred feet out into the sound and is virtually always calm. The sunset is amazing over the sound, with views of Hatteras Lighthouse in the distance. Keep reading for more amazing places to see on the North Carolina coast.
