Easy Payment Installment Plans for 2011
To help you fit your family vacation into your budget, we are offering a 3-payment plan and 4-payment plan along with our Traditional 2-payment plan providing you a choice of how you prefer to spread your payments over time and make your budgeting easier. We're flexible so you can choose the plan that best fits your needs. You won't need to worry about making a big payment all at once or experience the hassle of having to make a payment every month.
For your convenience, installment payments can be made by any method of payment: VISA/MC, electronic bank draft, e-check or personal check (US funds). Choose one method for all payments or combine methods. We're flexible.
Cape Hatteras Named #4 Beach in the US!
Dr. Stephen Leatherman, also known as Dr. Beach has named Cape Hatteras the #4 beach in the US, moving our beach up from the #7 spot last year. We already knew we had one of the best beaches in the country, but we are excited to have our beaches represented on this list again!

Beach Access Information
*** On November 15, 2010 the National Park Service released the Final Environmental Impact Study (FEIS). There will not be a public comment period on the FEIS. There will be a Record of Decision filed no sooner than 30 days after the EPA publishes the Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. Once the Record of Decision is filed, Superintendent Murray is expected to release a proposed ORV Rule which will then have a 60 day period for public comment.
Click here to for links to the FEIS from Preserve Beach Access.
We
urge all people who are interested in maintaining open access to Cape
Hatteras National Seashore to make their views known by writing to their congressional delegates from their home states. Since the National Seashore is Federal
Property citizens need to make their feelings known directly to their
federal representatives. For a list of the representatives and their
contact information in your state visit www.house.gov or www.senate.gov.
*** On March 5, 2010 the National Park Service announced the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Off-Road Management Plan (DEIS). Electronic copies of the DEIS are available for public review on the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment website. ***
