Whether your visit is a few hours or a few days you will find a variety of things to do at Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina. These 56 miles of barrier islands with undeveloped beaches are accessible only by boat or ferry and offer scenic views and plenty of things to do.

Visitors can purchase tickets for the ferry, have a picnic or launch kayaks. The Portsmouth Visitor Center offers exhibits on lightering, shipping, the fishing industry and maritime village culture.
