Beach · North Carolina
Leashed dogs (6ft) on the beaches of every island, Shackleford Banks included; some ferries carry them. Bring fresh water for them, as there is little on the islands. Not inside buildings.
Fifty-six miles of undeveloped Outer Banks islands reached by ferry, with wild horses on Shackleford Banks and the diamond-painted lighthouse.
The policy above is the standing rule of the agency that manages this land, as published on its own pages. Official page.
Rules change, and seasonal beach rules change twice a year. Check before a long drive.
