The barrier islands offer a rich history, wealth of wildlife habitat, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. Experience nature, visit historic lighthouses, swim, fish, surf, or beach comb. Begin the day at one of four Visitor Centers. The Hatteras Island Visitor Center includes the Museum of the Sea, which is located within the historic Hatteras lighthouse keeper’s quarters. Other historic structures include the Ocracoke Light Station and the Bodie Island Light Station. Enjoy lighthouse climbs, hiking, or water activities.
