Cape Hatteras

Hatteras is the ultimate symbol of lighthouses ... it's huge, it's majestic, it guards the "graveyard of the Atlantic," It stands as part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at the southern elbow of Hatteras Island warning seafarers of the shallow Diamond Shoals which jut almost 14 miles into the Atlantic from theCape.
