Hatteras is a place where you’re almost always either on the ocean or the Pamlico Sound, and that includes your dining out experiences too. A host of Hatteras restaurants tout their waterfront locations beside the Pamlico Sound. While dining at the water’s edge may seem well-suited for special occasions, you don’t need to celebrate a birthday or have a date night to check out one of these spots. Many family-friendly, casual establishments feature waterfront locales. Wake up while sipping coffee and gazing out at watery views. Enjoy sandwiches or salads at waterside cafes. Pair cocktail hour with the sun setting over the sound, or for dinner, treat yourself to a gourmet preparation of fresh fish, oftentimes caught from the waters right beside you.
