Museum of the Sea

Museum of the Sea sits on Lighthouse Road in Buxton, the Hatteras Island village built up around the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, inside Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It's cataloged here as a museum and point of interest, open on a consistent daily schedule.

• Hours: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM, seven days a week
• Location: Lighthouse Road, Buxton, NC
• Phone: (252) 995-4474

There's no visitor feedback on file yet, and specifics on exhibits or programming aren't documented, so it's worth calling ahead before you make a special trip. Like the rest of Hatteras Island, Buxton is reached via NC-12, the single road connecting the island's villages, which can flood or close during storms - so if you're visiting in hurricane season, a quick check on conditions before you head out is a good idea.
