Top 5 Frisco Beach Activities

Brindley Beach Vacations has an extensive collection of premier Hatteras Island vacation rentals affording prime access to some of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast. Hatteras Island has an ideal subtropical climate as well as one of the longest coastlines in the United States – stretching over 50 miles affording you plenty of things to do on Hatteras Island, including several family-friendly beach activities.

KITEBOARD/WINDSURF

Take advantage of the breeze by going kiteboarding or windsurfing. Miles of open water in the Pamlico Sound–one of the largest lagoons in all of North America–gives you plenty of space to roam free. With Hatteras Island being less populated as well, launching points on shore and traffic in the water itself are minimal, creating an idyllic sense of adventure.

FISHING

Reword this one, maybe in the sound but not in the ocean where we can have rough surf and dangerous undercurrents. Speaking of Pamlico Sound, you have the opportunity to walk out into the sea up to 100 feet without losing your footing. The shallows, paired with the lack of ocean trenches, makes it a phenomenal beach for surf fishing. The Gulf Stream and Labrador Current also intersect bringing in a unique array of fish that you may have never thought to catch in North Carolina.

SIGHTSEEING

Another activity that forges a piece of mind is sightseeing. Hatteras Island has some fascinating spots such as the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It oversees one of the most hazardous sections in the Atlantic Coast. Graveyard of the Atlantic is the nickname given to the dangerous sandbar Diamond Shoals just off the coast where hundreds of shipwrecks took place. Just south is Ocracoke Island, where you will likely have to ferry across but will be able to see unique wildlife such as pony herds and migrating birds.

4×4 DRIVE

One of the more unique beach activities you can participate in is driving a 4×4 along the shore. Brindley Beach offers rental packages that include a cooler, a fishing rod rack, and unlimited miles. As long as you have a permit and follow the rules, it can be a memorable experience swerving on the sand and exploring the entire beach where you can claim your own spot for the day.

BONFIRE

Wrap up a full day of beach activities with a bonfire. You can get the whole family around it and have hot dogs, brats, or s’mores. Our sandy beaches and incredible ocean views are a perfect setting for a summer memory straight out of a commercial!
