Cape Lookout

The Cape Lookout National Seashore can be reached by boat just off the coast. Consult the ferry schedule, which can be found on the website, and get ready for activities such as horse watching, fishing, shelling, birding, lighthouse climbing, camping, and touring historic villages, among others.

The Cape Lookout Lighthouse is the first stop for visitors. Visitors should bring flashlights to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse and its beaches at night to experience it as the lighthouse keepers once did.

Visitors may wish to join a Park Ranger for a glimpse into the world of Shackleford Banks' wild horses. Beach cabins can even be rented.
