Heading to Hatteras Island to enjoy a vacation is always something that leaves visitors feeling refreshed and revitalized. The Outer Banks has a way with stunning shorelines and Hatteras Island is no exception! If you’re making your way in this direction with every intention of spending as much time on the sand as possible, you’ll want to be sure to add a stop at Salvo Beach to your list at least once during your journey.
Make It a Tranquil Day on the Shoreline
While some shoreline seekers prefer bustling stretches of sand to savor alongside family and friends, Salvo Beach offers up a tranquil retreat far from the crowds for visitors to enjoy instead. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find Salvo Beach has a private beach vibe even though it’s accessible to the public and there’s no cost to access time on the sand. Parking is made simple at Salvo Beach, which sits within the greater community of Salvo. It’s part of the southernmost town of the “tri-villages,” making time here an off-the-beaten-path experience for those who could use a quiet moment in nature.
Once you’ve parked, you’ll need to trek over surrounding dunes to reach the shoreline. The effort is always worth your while, particularly when you encounter the views from the other side. The combination of open space and dunes makes Salvo Beach a beautiful place for landscape photographers to get out their cameras and capture it all on film. It’s just as enjoyable of a location for visitors who are excited to do nothing more than settle on the sand and watch the waves roll in. Shelling is another popular activity on Salvo Beach while the day use area is also equipped with grills and picnic tables for those looking to infuse flavor into their beach day. Just be sure to pick up the remains of whatever you bring along and leave nothing but footprints behind on this pristine and nature-filled stretch of shoreline.
Shoreline Factors to Keep in Mind
The strong waves and powerful currents that run through this area and define Salvo Beach make the waters here ideal for experienced recreationists like kiteboarders, but it’s typically not an ideal destination for swimming. It’s also not a lifeguarded beach so you’ll want to be sure you’re being water-aware and safe when you’re here.
