Views don't get any better than the 180-degree oceanfront vistas you’ll enjoy from this Outer Banks vacation home. Catch the sunrise or stroll the beach by moonlight with the Atlantic Ocean just steps away. Take the family out to the wide, world-class beach with its gentle slopes into the water for swimming and beautiful vistas for days spent fishing and kiting. You can also wade into the large pr

ivate pool on a whim or read a book poolside. For the “Work From Beach” crowd, Moon Palace offers plenty of laptop space and high-speed wifi internet that covers the entire home. As the day winds down, beachcombers and those at home can join to catch the sunset with cocktails on the expansive deck overlooking the private pool. Cook your fisherman’s catch in the spacious open kitchen with stunning granite countertops and the culinary tools you need to whip up the perfect meal. Finish off your evening in paradise with stargazing and a trip to the hot tub ready for you anytime at the just-right temperature. As your evening winds down, retreat to the Captain's Tower master suite that features a private oceanfront balcony where you can watch the waves crash or unwind away from the world with the luxurious jacuzzi offering private sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. The spectacular sunrise is postcard-perfect and will energize you to start another day in paradise. The whole family will enjoy their stay in one of six beautiful bedrooms with comfortable mattresses and individual TV sets. Moon Palace features two master bedrooms and a range of restful sleeping options with 2 king and 3 queen bedrooms, as well as children’s rooms with 2 bunk beds and a pyramid bed. Find a nook to read ghost stories of local legends like Blackbeard the pirate after you visit the partial remains of a 19th century shipwreck along the beach visible from the Captain's Tower. Catch the game or keep the children entertained with cable TV (Netflix and Amazon-enabled) and a pool table in the downstairs game room with a kitchenette. Outside on the ground level is an outdoor shower for after your swim and a charcoal grill. Spectacular views, local delights, and creature comforts - how could you want to stay anywhere else? Make Moon Palace your getaway on your visit to Hatteras Island!

Fun Fact Friday: Sea Turtles Don’t Have Teeth!

Did you know sea turtles don’t have teeth? Instead, they have some pretty cool adaptations to help them eat:

❇️ Beaks, not teeth: Like birds, sea turtles have beaks instead of teeth.
❇️ Keratin construction: Their beaks are made of keratin—the same stuff as your fingernails!

Built for the menu: Each species has a beak shape perfectly adapted to its diet:

❇️ Green sea turtles have serrated beaks to tear seagrass and algae.
❇️ Loggerheads have strong, wide jaws to crush crabs and shellfish.
❇️ Hawksbills have narrow, sharp beaks to grab sponges from coral reefs.
❇️ Leatherbacks have soft, jellyfish-filled diets—so they use esophageal papillae, sharp spines in their throats, to trap slippery prey!

Nature really does think of everything! 🌊 🐢

Remember, if you visit the beach, never go near a sea turtle or shine lights on them at night, and please, when you leave,
KEEP THE BEACH:
-CLEAN
-FLAT
-DARK
And don't forget:
If you're in the northern Outer Banks and accidentally hook a sea turtle, or see a sea turtle on the beach or crawl tracks in the sand, please immediately call the

NEST hotline: 252-441-8622

This conservation work for protected sea turtles in the northern Outer Banks is authorized by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (ES Permit 25ST10).

OBX is a rest stop for these birds

Not all travelers use suitcases. Some just wing it.

Double-crested cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) are known for their impressive migration journeys. In the Outer Banks, they are typically passing through during seasonal migrations between their breeding and wintering grounds. Some cormorants travel thousands of miles during these migrations, depending on where they start and end their journeys.

During their migration, the Outer Banks serves as a strategic resting and feeding stop along the Atlantic Flyway, offering ample food sources that help sustain them during their long flight.

Have you spotted them on their migration yet?

Did you know biologists at Cape Hatteras National Seashore carefully track, learn from, and protect hundreds of sea turtle nests on the Seashore each year?

While human visitors flocked to the Seashore this summer, more than 303 sea turtles also made their way there to nest.

We are thrilled to share that more than 19,000 hatchlings began their journey to the ocean this year, and that you helped us raise over $31,000 to protect and enhance the Seashore and the vital sea turtle habitat it preserves!
