Bodie Island - Cape Hatteras National Seashore


While at Cape Hatteras National Seashore during our October 2015 visit to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we stopped at a beach access point on Bodie Island.

Dune patterns created by wind and wave

While the sky is clear, the waves are remnants of the #NotJoaquin storm

Plants stabilize the dunes

Shifting dunes have nearly covered this sign

Fencing was used to rebuild this dune

A varied ecosystem has been created in the dunes

Entrance to Cape Hatteras National Seashore is free.
