Fall on Hatteras Island is one of the best times of the year. With sunny skies and average temperatures in the 60s and 70s, the weather is still nice enough to enjoy many of the outdoor activities that make this area special. Plus, as the summer rush subsides, there are fewer crowds to contend with and often lower rates on things like vacation rental homes and local activities.
