Activities include:fishing, swimming, birding, boating, windsurfing, kayaking and shelling. Although well known for Cape Lookout Lighthouse, its surf fishing, wide beaches, and as a home for wild horses and shore birds, the area also boasts a rich and colorful human history. These islands have been home to fishermen, whalers and stockmen and have borne witness to shipwrecks and daring rescues.
