The Road to the Outer Banks: photos by @chrisbickford. The town of Buxton lies at the point where coastal North Carolina's Hatteras Island makes a sharp turn to the west, creating the point known as Cape Hatteras. It is home to the famous Hatteras Lighthouse, which has watched over the "Graveyard of the Atlantic", one of the most hazardous sections of the East Coast, where the southern Gulf Stream and the northern Labrador current collide and force ships into a dangerous 12-mile long sandbar known as Diamond Shoals. There are hundreds and possibly thousands of shipwrecks off the coast, many of them still undiscovered. The same forces that create such a hazard for boating also bring some of the best surf on the East Coast to the jetties where the lighthouse originally stood (It was moved several hundred yards back in 1999 due to erosion and issues with the foundation). Surfers from all up and down the East Coast come to take on the waves at "Lighthouse", and several contests are held here every year due to the reliability of surf. Additionally, Cape Hatteras is a mecca for surf fishing, which recently has seen a decline due to the seasonal closing of Cape Point to protect fragile nesting sites for the piping plover, an endangered migratory seabird. Buxton offers a variety of restaurants from fine dining to pizza and burgers, and of course, Uncle Eddy's Frozen Custard, a favorite after-dinnner treat for vacationers. The lighthouse is currently open for climbing, so if you come down take advantage of the climb, because it closes regularly due to the toll that recent storms have taken on the community. Cape Hatteras and Buxton are about as hard-core Outer Banks as you can get, so if you get the chance, come on down and experience the wilds of the "outer" Outer Banks.
