At one time, relentless northward currents paralyzed ships north of Cape Point for weeks on end. Lying nearly dead in the water, they were susceptible to suddenly unfavorable winds slamming them into the shore. Then, in 1846, a violent storm struck the Outer Banks and created the Hatteras Inlet. A new passage connected the Pamlico Sound to the Atlantic Ocean. With the struggle against the currents eased, the fishing industry grew, and so did the village nearby. In 1858, a post office defined Hatteras Village.
The Village faced many challenges over the years. It was the first Confederate fort to fall to the Union. After the end of the Civil War, there were better times as the Durants lifesaving station and a US weather station came to occupy Hatteras Village.
In the 1930s, the Army Corps of Engineers dredged the channel deeper to allow better access to the Hatteras Inlet. Although the area experienced heavy losses during World War II, with the help of a private ferry connecting Hatteras to Ocracoke, the village recovered. In the 1950s, North Carolina-12 connected Hatteras real estate to the amenities in the northern reaches of the Outer Banks.
Hatteras Shopping and Dining
Shopping in Hatteras Village is an adventure with great shops carrying unique items. Beautiful, handmade glass beads add sparkle to the bracelets and necklaces you will find at the Family Jewels. Parrot Bay Trading Company carries gorgeous sterling silver beads and more. For casual clothing and beach-inspired jewelry, Farmer's Daughter is the place to go.

Seafood is always king in Hatteras real estate with outstanding restaurants such as Dinky's Waterfront Restaurant and the Wreck Tiki Bar. Oven ready food from Harbor House Seafood is always a hit. As on much of the Outer Banks, you can enjoy fine dining while wearing casual attire.
Hatteras Parks and Recreation
The Hatteras Ocean Center provides plenty of interesting activities for old and young alike. You can explore the wetlands via kayak or stand up paddleboard, catch a bucket of blue crabs, or watch a video about the ecology and history of your surroundings. The Center displays items on loan from many of the nearby museums.
Charter a boat from one of the fine marinas in Hatteras Village. Hatteras Harbor Marina has a fleet of 24 boats for your pleasure. Hatteras Landing Marina has boats to rent or slip rental space for boats up to 90 feet in length. Miss Hatters is a 75-foot head boat that allows individuals to fish from her decks paying a per-person fee that covers equipment and bait.
For some of the best sport fishing in the country, Outer Banks charter fishing boats carry a healthy price tag of $1500 and up, but you will have the opportunity to fish for the huge species that lurk offshore like billfish and tuna. The Albatross Fleet will take you the 20 miles offshore to seek the big game fish.
