This National Park Service unit also includes the majestic Bodie Island, Cape Hatteras, and Ocracoke Lighthouses. The seashore is a haven for Flora and fauna and recreational beachgoers. Cape Hatteras National Seashore showcases the wealthy natural and cultural heritage of The us’s first national seashore.
