Both the Hatteras Village Park and Hatteras Landing, featuring shopping, marinas, and dining, are close by. Plus, the complimentary ferry to Ocracoke is an simple walk from the Sea Shanty. A short distance more takes you to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum and Ramp 55 to the ends of the island.

Wildlife abounds, with tons of greenery and estuaries close by…you’re sure to spot the local deer among the sea oats on the dunes, brown pelicans and other sea birds, nesting sea turtles, and so much more on the shore. After a visit to the beach, rinse off in the well-lit, hot-water outdoor shower before stepping inside.

Inside the Sea Shanty, you’ll find an open living space with plenty of room to gather. The well-equipped kitchen features everything you need to sauté, bake, grille, or boil. Make memories at the additional-enormous dining table over coffee or an ice-cold beer. Break out a puzzle, board game, or cards – poker, anyone? – to occupy your evenings after a home-cooked seafood boil or a visit to one of Hatteras’ award-winning seafood eateries. At the end of the nighttime, three bedrooms await, all with new streaming TVs and new beds. Rest assured the Sea Shanty will be a calming and comfortable bungalow for your vacation to the wild winds and blowing sands of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore!
