Spend a fun morning off the sand and getting creative with this unique weekly event that’s designed for crafty kids on Hatteras Island. Held at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, the “Maritime Crafts for Kids” event features a special maritime-themed craft every week for a free session of getting creative at one of the most unique attractions on the Outer Banks.

The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is renowned as one of the island’s newest and coolest museums, and is located at the very southern tip of Hatteras Village, next to the Hatteras / Ocracoke ferry docks as well as the ORV ramps to the inlet-bordering beaches. Within this museum, an assortment of artifacts and relics can be found that detail centuries of shipwrecks that have met their fate off the coast of the Outer Banks. During this cool class, kids will learn a little about this history while creating their own unique craft to take home as a treasured souvenir. All supplies are provided, and the event is free for any visitor who wants to swing by and get creative. Serving as a great way to enjoy a break from the beach and to have a little fun, this event is sure to be a highlight for artistic visitors of all ages.

Risky Business Shrimping and Crabbing

Risky Business Shrimping and Crabbing

If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on activity that the whole family can enjoy together, hop aboard Risky Business for an Outer Banks shrimping and crabbing charter. Our experienced captain and mate will show your group how to pull crab pots to catch blue crabs and trawl for shrimp the same way that the local commercial fishermen do. You’ll learn about the species caught and how to sort through the catch – and everything of legal size is yours to keep for dinner! Along the way you’ll look for dolphins and other wildlife and see the sights in the Roanoke Sound and Croatan Sound. Based at Shallowbag Bay Marina in Manteo, our Outer Banks shrimping and crabbing charter is convenient to all the northern Outer Banks beach towns, only 5 minutes from Nags Head. We run charters in the summer only, from mid-June through September.
