How Do You Enjoy Cape Hatteras National Seashore With The Kids?
The windswept islands of Cape Hatteras National Seashore are natural places for kids to explore sand dunes, beaches and woodlands. Rich in history, the park offers educational information about lighthouses, shipwrecks and early inhabitants of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. See “Enjoy Cape Hatteras National Seashore,” under Related eHows, for general information about the park and a list of available activities. Many of these are appropriate for kids as well as adults. Tour the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and learn about the history of lighthouses on the eastern seaboard. Also join in summer interpretive programs at the park. Pick up the “In the Park” newspaper at the visitor center for a current schedule of events. Take kids to the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. The fishing fleet hauls in each day’s catch here, which is great fun for kids to watch. Fishing or swimming are other possible water-based activities. Go to the excellent North Carolina Aquarium (see ncaquariums.com) on Roanoke Islan
