  • We really enjoyed our day on Harkers Island! While waiting for our UTV rental appointment we walked along the boardwalk from the visitor center to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. The staff at the museum was friendly and knowledgeable, it was lovely to feel the warm breeze through the open windows and doors as we listened to the tales of the times. The lighthouse itself is a beautiful black and white beacon against the fluffy cloud sky. Next time we visit we will be sure to take the ferry to see the beautiful horses of Shackleford Banks.
  • Beautiful island. We took the ferry over which was a short ride. Checked out the light house and inn keeper house. Took beach shuttle to the point and enjoyed a few hours on the beach. Lots of shells and great fishing.
