The area is now open to ORV traffic from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. daily. The night-time prohibition on beach driving is still in effect on all national seashore beaches from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. The pre-nesting area west of Cape Point remains in effect and is posted as closed to vehicles, pedestrians and pets.

Did You Know?
This is not a space alien, even though it has a transparent body, wings, and a very large eye. Giant water fleas grow up to 2 cm long, and are a food source for small fish that shelter in the sound.
You can swim with them in the sound-side waters off Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
