Next spring I plan on going back with our CT. There is an off the grid campground run by the Nation Park Service and several private campgrounds for us to consider.
The appeal to us is driving on the beaches with our 4x4's and rod racks with all our fishing poles and just hanging around fishing, watching the surf and sea birds.
The weather did not cooperate with us with high winds which was difficult to cast in and also the fish went on vacation. I caught only one small Snapper Bluefish (12") but that was ok given my bad thumb that I tried to cut off the week before.
One needs to be aware of beach closing periods during shore bird and sea turtle mating seasons.
Hatteras Lighthouse. Moved mile or more inland several years ago because of beach erosion at original site.
Our TV with a temporary/prototype rod rack assembly.
Some ramps were closed bc of water levels from the most recent hurricanes. We were able to drive through this one.
Cape Point at low tide. Notice sand formation out aways making an island for Pelicans
Typical scene around anglers when the fish are not biting. Now where are the Coors?
Frisco Pier damaged from hurricane from 2003 I believe. Cannot remember the storm name. I hear they are waiting to tear it down.
Comurant drying it's wings out.
Nothing like a little champagne at the end of the week.
If you are in Buxton, NC, you must stop at the Apple Blossom and treat yourself to an Apple Ugly. And bring some home too. But go early as they go fast.
And here we end up our week with a short walk on the beach at Cape Point.
