It is proudly rural - Avon has a Food Lion and a Subway, but other than that, there aren’t many familiar shops or restaurants for first timers - just mom and pop shops, but unless you have an insatiable thirst for name brand everything and trendy foods, you’ll find everything you need for a good week on the beach without going back to Kill Devil Hills/civilization.

Many miles of off-road vehicle access allow beach cruising to your hearts content (air down first though - getting stuck isn’t fun!).

There are a few shops to visit, but in researching that area, I found a number of retail businesses and restaurants that were no longer there.

But traveling south, toward the National Seashore, the stark difference in amazing. We stayed in Nags Head which is a heavy tourist area, as is everything north on the barrier islands. The view from the top is one that you have to see to believe! Simply amazing! So…we were anxious to see the lighthouse’s new home, as it was moved away from the shoreline several years ago. We were fortunate enough to climb her when we first visited, but the steps were closed for maintenance on this trip. In fact, the original light was extended in height because it was basically ineffective during the presence of fog. Built at the point the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador current, the turbulence is legendary, and fog is a major factor. Cape Hatteras is the tallest lighthouse in the US. They were trying everything they could think of, at that time, to shore up the beach, as the sea was attempting to claim the light.
