For Kids

Children touch a sea turtle model during a ranger program.

Learn...

... about the animals, plants and people that have called the shores of Cape Lookout home.

Rangers can help you identify the items that you discover along the beach. You can also listen to one of the scheduled ranger programs to learn more about Lighthouse Keepers, shipwrecks, and sea creatures of the area.

Check out our Brochures for Kids and be sure to pic up your Park Trading Cards.

 
Boys work on their Junior Ranger Adventure booklets in the sand.

Explore...

... the beaches and historic villages on these islands.

Cape Lookout is full of hidden treasures. Look closely and you may find the tracks of a ghost crab in the sand or a moon snail crawling along the the tide flat in search of its next meal.

Take your explorations a step further by becoming a Junior Ranger.
