The Pea Island Bird Walk is a weekly experience offered by the refuge that encompasses a scenic and guided walk along the region's North Pond area. Along the way, visitors can be on the lookout for some of the nearly 400 species of birds that call the refuge home, all while hearing a wealth of information on what makes the refuge – and the varying species themselves – so unique. June 26-July 24th, every Wednesday. July 30th-August 13th, every Tuesday.

The tour launches from the Pea Island Visitor Center, and from this starting point, visitors will head to a network of creeks, marshes, and islands that are found within the miles-wide Pamlico Sound. Along the way, visitors can expect to see a number of local residents, which is not surprising considering that the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is famed as home to roughly 400 different species of birds. Crabs, turtles, and other wild species may also make an appearance along the tour, and an expert guide will explain all about the refuge as well as the local critters that frequent the area waters. Designed especially for kids who want a hands-on experience, this kayak tour is a great way to discover something new and unique on the Outer Banks. Reservations are required, and the cost is $30 for adults and $20 for children ages 12 and under.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse started its epic “move of the century” journey on June 17, 1999. After the lighthouse was lifted, the tower moved 2,900 feet over the course of 23 days to its current location. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, sentinel of the perilous Diamond Shoals, where the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador Current, witness to the tragic sinking and triumphant rescues claimed by the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," resumed its duties on November 13, 1999 and continues to do so to this day.
