The waters off Hatteras Island sit at the collision of the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current, a meeting point that creates one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet.

Surf Fishing

Hatteras Island is synonymous with surf fishing. Cape Point in Buxton is the island's most legendary surf fishing spot.

Pier Fishing

The Avon Fishing Pier is the last remaining ocean pier on Hatteras Island.

Inshore & Sound Fishing

Pamlico Sound is a nursery for flounder, speckled trout, and puppy drum.

Offshore Fishing

The Gulf Stream runs as close as 12 miles to Hatteras Island, closer than almost anywhere on the U.S. coast.
