Cape Point (Cape Hatteras)

The Wikipedia article in this brief describes Cape Point on the Cape Peninsula of South Africa — not Cape Hatteras. The web sources and the current description support a Cape Hatteras entry; the Wikipedia article does not.

Working from the web sources and destination context only: Cape Point is where the Labrador Current meets the Gulf Stream, producing the dangerous offshore shoals and the surf-fishing reputation the sources describe. The destination context confirms the Outer Banks are a 200-mile string of barrier islands off North Carolina's coast, part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Where two currents collide off Hatteras Island, the offshore water turns dangerous and the fishing turns serious. Cape Point draws surf anglers chasing red drum in fall, Spanish mackerel in summer — the convergence of the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream creating the structure that makes this the most cited surf-fishing spot on the East Coast. You'll need a 4WD vehicle and an NPS ORV permit to reach it. Go anyway.
