The northernmost stretch of ocean beach, about 1.5 miles long, within Cape Hatteras National Seashore is open to pedestrians, providing a serene place to stroll next to the Atlantic Ocean. At the start of the pedestrian access path are two outdoor exhibits on ocean swimming safety and sea turtles. This is not a vehicle access ramp.

There is parking available at this access point for about two dozen vehicles, as well as a recycling bin.
