Managed by the National Park Service, Cape Hatteras National Seashore is the United States’ first national seashore, which preserves the portion of the Outer Banks of North Carolina from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island. Boasting more than 70 miles of shoreline, it’s particularly known as a place for exceptional shelling (like Scotch bonnets and helmet conchs) thanks to shallow ocean floors. It supports a rich diversity of plants and animals, including threatened or endangered species like the piping plover, seabeach amaranth and sea turtles. Four campgrounds are located across the Seashore, providing an immersive experience of the barrier islands; two of them are open year round.
