Island sights in North America

  1. Cape Hatteras National Seashore

    Extending some 70 miles from south of Nags Head to the south end of Okracoke Island, this fragile necklace of islands remains blissfully free of overdevelopment. Natural attractions include local and migratory water birds, marshes, woodlands, dunes and miles of empty beaches. Don't miss the 156ft striped Bodie Island Lighthouse, south of Nags Head. You can't climb it, but it's darn photogenic.
