1. Cape Hatteras Motel
City: Buxton, NC
Category: Accommodations
Telephone: (252) 995-5611, (800) 995-0711
Address: NC 12
Description: Cape Hatteras Motel’s efficiency units and motel rooms are popular with anglers, surfers, and folks who enjoy Hatteras Island’s beaches. Sailboarders especially like this facility because it is near Canadian Hole, one of the best windsurfing spots on the East Coast. Efficiencies sleep up to six comfortably, offer double beds as well as queen-size and king-size beds, and have full kitchens (they rent weekly, but nightly rentals also may be available). The newer, more modern town houses and apartments have a great view of the beach. The motel has an outdoor swimming pool and spa, and its position at the north end of Buxton is convenient not only to pristine, uncrowded beaches but also to restaurants and services. The Cape Hatteras Motel is no smoking and is open year-round.
