Bux·ton [ búkstən ]......Home of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Entering Buxton from the north, it's the second left that will put you on Lighthouse Road. The lighthouse is 208 feet tall and made from brick, the tallest in America. You will want to set aside enough time to go to the on-site museum and visitors center as well as climb to the top of the lighthouse.  If you climb the 248 steps to the

Earlier this summer I took the opportunity to do something I have put off for years, namely going out to the gulf stream and fishing. My youngest son and I took a charter from Oregon Inlet early in the morning, and when I say early, that's what I mean. We had to be there at o'crack of dawn for the 3 hour trip out to the warmer gulf stream. Our charter was the Trophy Hunter, one of the Offshore

“Serendipity”, the house from Nights in Rodanthe, has been saved from becoming more beach debris lost to the ocean. The encroaching ocean was steadily over taking the house but the good news is it is being relocated. The house had recently been declared a nuisance by Dare County. New owners bought the house and a nearby lot. This is a major save for Rodanthe since the house is the most popular

Buxton is the town where Hatteras Island turns from its north-south direction and juts to the west. It is home to the most famous lighthouse in the world and the best surf casting on the island. When you enter Buxton, time seems to slow down, all your worries seem to leave and your mind goes into a state of relaxation. Buxton has about 1,500 people permanently living there but the population

The Outer Banks of Carolina is one of the most charming, remote barrier island chains on the east coast of the USA. Imagine a single road almost 100 miles long with the beach on one side and the sound on the other side, a sliver of asphalt surrounded by the natural beauty of the shoreline. You can stop almost anywhere and experience being the only person on the beach. The sound of the waves
