Visitor Guide Note: It is always a good idea before heading out to any location on Hatteras Island to first check the weather that is expected while you are arriving. High winds (30 mph or more) especially during high tides from the Northeast or East currently tend to cause highway to overwash from the ocean on Rt. 12 in several locations. Please be aware, this overwash is a mixture of saltwater and sand. Even if this standing water seems easily passable, vehicles plowing through it can get sand into places on a car or truck that can damage seals and brakes. Also, the corrosive effects of ocean saltwater cannot be understated. We have a joke here. "Even plastic corrodes on Hatteras Island!" Please always travel through all overwash areas at the slowest possible "no wake" speed.
