The Cape Lookout National Seashore, located about two hours southeast of Greenville, preserves 56 miles of Outer Banks islands with sandy beaches. Ferries to these islands launch out of Harkers Island and Beaufort, and once on the stretch of sand, campers can pitch their tent in most island areas. Popular activities include surfing, swimming, shelling, fishing, crabbing, and clamming. Don’t miss the park’s famous Shackleford Banks island, home to wild horses.
