OBX if that is what it is called??

We are heading to Camp Hatteras if spelling is ok. We are going middle late Sept. Any suggestions on eating, cannot miss, must see in the area? also We are wanting to stay near Ashville seems to be about half way for us. We want to stay a week in the area and don't want to leave out some areas that are must see visit ect. Thanks Larry
  • Will visit OBX this weekend. Staying at Camp Hatteras. You will enjoy it. You can see the sunrise over the ocean, and walk across the highway to the west side of thecampground and watch the sunset over the Sound. I just enjoy it for the beach and the laid back lifestyle found while "living on a sandbar"

    Do catch the ferry boat over to Ocracoke Island. Have a nice lunch and people watch. I've climbed the lighthouse a couple of times so I will skip that, but it is worth the climb.
  • I found the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum interesting. Near the Ocracoke ferry dock. They have a German code machine that divers brought up from a sunken sub decades after WWII and a lot of shipwreck info.

    You can climb the Hatteras Lighthouse if you are so inclined.

    There's a free 30minute ferry to Ocracoke Island with frequent trips back and forth, so could do a day trip. Cute little town to walk around, Preservation Museum, Park Service visitor center, restaurants near the dock.
  • Search "OBX" in the search function and I think you will find all the information you are looking for. We like ribs from Sooeys BBQ in Nags Head and Burgers from Top Dog Cafe right down the street from Camp Hatteras. Seafood catch your own and cook at your campsite or there are plenty of good places. Thinks not to missing are all 4 light houses, Jockey Ridge, Wright Brothers, Ocracoke, and the AWESOME FISHING. Go prepared for high winds and terrible bugs. If you can battle those two items you will love it.
