Location:
Nestled in the tranquil Cottages at the Cape, Barracuda is steps from Buxton's sandy beaches and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Explore nearby shops, local restaurants, scenic trails, or head to the jetties for world-class fishing and surfing. This Outer Banks townhome offers the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and serene coastal charm. The anglers in your group will love being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing just down the road, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.
