HatterasThe 1870 Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and the free 60-minute ferry to Ocracoke

Hatteras Village sits at the southern end of Hatteras Island in Dare County's Outer Banks, where Hwy 12 dead-ends at the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry dock. The 1870 Cape Hatteras Lighthouse — 198 feet of black-and-white spiral brick, the tallest in the United States, relocated 2,900 feet inland by the National Park Service in 1999 when Atlantic erosion threatened the foundation — anchors the eastern face of Hatteras Island 12 miles north at Buxton. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore protects 70 miles of barrier-island beach from Whalebone Junction south to Ocracoke Inlet, with the Diamond Shoals fishing grounds offshore where the Labrador Current and the Gulf Stream collide and where over 5,000 shipwrecks have earned the Outer Banks its "Graveyard of the Atlantic" name.

Our Hatteras Island rentals concentrate in the southern village stretch (Hatteras Village, Frisco, and Buxton) — oceanside cottages on Hatteras Oceanside, soundfront properties on the Pamlico in Buxton and Frisco, and canalfront Hatteras houses with private docks. SOUTHERN STAR sleeps 10 across 5 bedrooms on Seascape Lane in Hatteras Oceanside; HATTERAS HIDEAWAY in Frisco sleeps 6 with private beach access; NATIVE SUN is a 3-bedroom Hatteras canalfront with dock; SPARTINA in Buxton is a 3-bedroom soundfront with creek access. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the Avon Pier, the Frisco Native American Museum, and the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry are all within a 25-minute drive of the village.
