Cape Lookout National Seashore
Getting Around
 
strolling along the beach
 
Most people arrive at the seashore through one of the passenger ferry services.  They then walk to where they wish to go.  Near the lighthouse a boardwalk makes the journey from the ferry dock to the beach a little easier.
 
riding the shuttle service to the point of Cape Lookout.
A 4-wheel drive vehicle makes searching for that good shelling, surf-fishing or camping spot a little easier. If you don't have your own check with the ferry services for details on the beach shuttles.
