Hatteras Island is a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, on the Atlantic Ocean. Famed for its lighthouse and long sandy beaches, it is a great family friendly place for a relaxing holiday. Many people visiting Hatteras Island will be looking for a beach holiday, and the long sandy beaches looking out over the Atlantic Ocean are well worth exploring - even at the height of summer or the 4th of July weekend you can usually find a good stretch of beach all to yourselves. Canadian Hole, between the towns of Buxton and Avon, is a particularly good spot. In addition to the beach itself, the waters of Pamlico Sound are perfect for wading, and tourists flock there as the conditions are perfect for windsurfing and kite boarding. In terms of sightseeing there is also the lighthouse, which was moved inland in 1999 to protect it from coastal erosion, and the 825 acre Buxton Coastal Reserve, an area of maritime woodland full of spectacular wildlife (there have even been sightings of bald eagles) and plenty of hiking trails for those members of the family looking for a bit more exercise.

The original Hatteras Island Surf Shop opened in Waves, NC in 1971. Barton Decker and a few friends started the shop as a summertime job, an excuse to stay at the beach for the summer and get surfboards cheap. But the shop and Hatteras grew on him more then he expected and he continued and expanded Hatteras Island Surf and Sail into two locations. The Surf Shop is still tucked behind the trees similar to how it was in 1980s when it was built. The Surf Shop packs surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards and other surf equipment. The Sail Shop is right on the water and is packed with kiteboarding, windsurfing, and paddleboard gear. The Sail Shop provides windsurfing and kiteboarding lessons right out behind the shop. Kayaking, windsurfing and paddlboarding rentals can be launched right from behind the shop.
