We were camping at the Outer Banks last week,spent 3 days in Frisco & 3 days in Hatteras. A fishing license is now required for surf fishing,a non resident 10 day license was $12.00 & available at most tackle shops.
We have been going to the OBX to fish for years... however this is the first time since all the changes took place (beach driving restrictions /permit & fishing license) $50.00 for a seven day beach driving permit at the NPS offices,too expensive for me.
We walked on the beach at the Frisco pier location to fish (the pier is closed due to damage) maybe a 100 feet from the ocean & you can see your truck in the parking area.
Bodie Island lighthouse & Cape Hatteras lighthouse are both open for climbing, We climbed Cape Hatteras lighthouse & took some great pictures and enjoyed the view.
Enjoy your stay and catch some fish.
