Independent Bookstore on Hatteras Island, NC
Buxton Village Books has been a part of Hatteras Island life since 1984. We’re an independently owned bookstore where stories are personal, because someone here has read the books on our shelves and loves helping readers find just the right one! You’ll always find the newest releases alongside favorites in contemporary and southern fiction, cookbooks, poetry, children’s and young adult books, nonfiction, and more. Our Hatteras Bookshelf is especially close to us, as it is filled with Outer Banks history, sea tales, and adventures for every age.
While books are at our core, you’ll also find audiobooks, ebooks, handmade note cards, and handcrafted Sea Bags made on the Portland, Maine waterfront. Each is chosen with the same care we give our shelves. The building itself is a story worth discovering—pre-Civil War, built with shipwreck timbers you can still see overhead in the front room. It’s a reminder that history lives right here on Hatteras Island.
Whether you’re a longtime visitor or just discovering Hatteras Island, a stop at Buxton Village Books is always memorable. Come browse, linger, and leave with a story to carry home.
