Best Things To Do in Hatteras Island in Fall
Fall on Hatteras Island is one of the best times of the year. With sunny skies and average temperatures in the 60s and 70s, the weather is still nice enough to enjoy all the outdoor activities that make this area special. Plus, as the summer rush subsides, there are fewer crowds to contend with and often cheaper rates on things like vacation rentals and even some top activities!
From horseback riding and lighthouse tours to kayaking adventures, fishing trips, and more, we’ve created our list of the best things to do in Hatteras Island in fall. Check them out in this month’s blog and see how many you experience when you visit!

Horseback Riding Adventures
An excellent way to experience the natural beauty of the Outer Banks is on horseback. Picture yourself riding across the Cape Hatteras National Seashore as the surf rolls in. At Equine Adventures, your two-hour beach ride leads you through the maritime forests of Frisco and along the beach until you can see the Hatteras Lighthouse in the distance. Experienced riders can even kick things up with a canter down the beach. If you’re visiting in the fall, you’ll also get their seasonal discounted rate!
Looking for more options on guided tours? Hatteras Island Horseback Riding offers family and group packages as well as fully customizable rides. They can even accommodate special needs riders. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking to check this unique activity off your bucket list, these Hatteras Island companies can help you fulfill your horseback riding dreams.
Kayaking Excursions
Water sports and activities are some of the best things to do in Hatteras in fall. For paddling expeditions, visitors will love renting a kayak and heading out on the Pamlico Sound for a day of fun as you explore the saltwater marshes and local marine life.
Look for dolphins jumping in the distance as you glide across the gentle water and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge in Rodanthe is another popular spot for kayaking. Even though temperatures may be cooler, the warm water from the Gulf Stream doesn’t cool as quickly, so you can still comfortably take a ride even if you get splashed a little.
Looking for more of an action-packed water activity? Book a fishing charter and cast a line for red drum, tuna, flounder, king mackerel, and other popular varieties. You can also visit a local fishing pier or charter your own boat for the day for a self-guided fishing trip. From surfing to relaxing on the North Carolina shores, finding ways to get out on the water during your Hatteras Island fall vacation is a must.
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Exploration
No trip to Hatteras Island is complete without a visit to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This fall is the perfect time to explore this historic landmark and learn all about its rich maritime history. Climb the 257 steps to the top of the lighthouse, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The visitor’s center features engaging exhibits that teach about the lighthouse's history and fascinating tales of shipwrecks and rescues that have occurred off the coast.
Hatteras Island Fall Events
Get to know the community we love so much and attend some exciting events we have in the fall. Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival is a great event to attend in late October. This event teaches and celebrates the natural wildlife of the area and the conservation efforts around it. You can go birdwatching, group kayaking through Roanoke Island, or go on a hike to spot local reptile species! You don't want to miss this fascinating festival that the kids will love and learn from as well.
If you're in town for Halloween, check out Trunk or Treat events at the Beach Klub at Koru Village and Hatteras Village to celebrate the holiday with locals. Kids can dress up and safely get candy and treats from the locals and you can decorate your trunk as well for a great family-bonding activity.
