Beachcombing on the Outer Banks, especially during the winter and early spring, can prove to be a challenging adventure due to the harsh weather conditions that frequent the area. Our sandbar is known for its many shipwrecks due to high seas, strong currents and blustery nor’easters. In the winter months, the Labrador Current dips down and pushes its artic waters close to Hatteras Island, colliding with the Gulf Stream. This collision can stir up the ocean floor and cause huge amounts of debris to wash ashore, from shell piles to shipwrecks. Many shells favor cold water over tropical waters, and one kind in particular that many beachcombers enjoy collecting is the whelk. Whelk shells are often mistakenly called conch shells, but there are many differences in the two shell types. For starters, aside from the whelks preferring cold water and conchs preferring tropical waters, whelks are [...] Hatteras Features | Full Article

Hatteras Island Real Estate: 2019 Real Estate Market Trends & Observations
April 15, 2019 | Real Estate | By: Tom Hranicka
As we enter the start of the 2019 vacation season, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the trends that we are seeing in the Hatteras Island real estate market. Last year was a flat year for the residential real estate market on Hatteras Island. Sales were down slightly, and there was no change in the median sale price from 2017. The good news is that the market recorded positive results for the first two months of 2019. No one is quite sure why the market did not continue to improve during 2018 as it had for the previous three years. Buyers continue to show a preference for residential properties priced below $300,000. In all price ranges above $200,000 - $299,999, the supply of properties exceeds buyer demand. The median sale price for residential properties in 2018 was $305,000, and the median sale price for undeveloped lots was $85,000. A total of 313 properties were s [...] Real Estate | Full Article

New Exhibit Uncovers the Faces Behind the Local Fishing Industry

A new exhibit featuring Outer Banks photographer Daniel Pullen has recently launched at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, and the series of photographs provide an insider’s look at life on our local waters that visitors rarely get to see.

Folks who have attended the annual Day at the Docks (DATD) celebration in September have likely seen a few of these photos before, (as they were showcased in recent years as a stand-alone exhibit), and the photos have made waves with members throughout the fishing community, and on a larger state-wide scale as well.
