Hatteras Attractions and Activities
Hatteras Village is a commercial fishing center and is the homeport for the island's famous charter fishing fleet. It almost goes without saying that fishing in Hatteras is superb, with the offshore Gulf Stream waters offering bottom fishing for snapper, grouper, trigger fish and sea bass. Flounder, blue fish and trout are caught in the inshore waters. Hatteras Village serves as the host town to several prestigious fishing tournaments each year. The village is also home to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, which is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of North Carolina's maritime history and shipwrecks of the Outer Banks.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was the first lighthouse built in the region, authorized by Congress in 1794 to help prevent shipwrecks. The original structure was lost to erosion and Civil War damage; this 1870 replacement is, at 208 feet, the tallest brick lighthouse in the world. Endangered by the sea, in 1999 the lighthouse was actually raised and rolled some 2,900 feet inland to its present location. It's now the Hatteras Island Visitor Center. In summer the principal keeper's quarters are open for viewing, and you can climb the 257 steps (12 stories) to the viewing balcony. Children under 42 inches in height aren't allowed in the lighthouse. Offshore lie the remains of the USS Monitor, a Confederate ironclad ship that sank in 1862.
