Hatteras Island and its precarious position along the Outer Banks define this coastal landscape on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The narrow spit of land is dominated by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, preserving a stretch of sand and marsh where the sea and sound nearly meet. Near the settlement of Little Kinnakeet, the landform shifts through features like Terrapin Point and Bog Opening, reflecting a terrain shaped by tidal movement and storm surge.
