Hatteras Island Surf Fishing Beaches

Hatteras Island runs 42 miles along the North Carolina coast, and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore beaches that stretch across it are accessible to 4WD vehicles — which is the point. This is working shoreline, not a backdrop. Surf fishermen come for red drum, bluefish, and striped bass in waters that have earned a reputation as some of the premier surf fishing on the East Coast. Come with the right rig, and the beach does the rest.
