Hatteras Island and All Seven of Its Villages

Last week I spent a few days in the southern part of Dare County Outer Banks on Hatteras Island. My co-worker and I drove around filming and shooting places for a fall tv commercial and our 2013 travel guide. I don't have any video to share, since he was the handyman behind the camera, but here is a preview of the photos.

Hatteras Island is a quirky little place. It is made up of seven little villages: Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras. Each unique in its own sense.

Fueled by working watermen, dockside fishers, vacationers, and full timers looking for a place off the beaten path. Most miss the charm of the island as they drive straight through on their way to the ferry for Ocracoke. Their loss. It's a wonderful little place, if you take the time to look.
