"Don't expect to play golf or stay at the Ritz; the main pursuits are swimming and beachcombing as well as exploring the historical village," Leatherman said in the beach's description on his annual list. Beachfront accommodation is limited to one National Park Service campground, so most visitors stay in the village a couple miles from the beach.A second Outer Banks beach, Lighthouse Beach in Buxton on Hatteras Island is No. 6 this year. This beach was the site of the old spiral-striped Cape Hatteras Lighthouse until erosion prompted its move about 3,000 feet inland in 1999.Leatherman gives extra credit for no smoking and both of the Outer Banks beaches prohibit smoking, he said.
