Our poster features the beautiful Cape Hatteras Lighthouse built in 1870. It is the tallest lighthouse in the United States! Why is this lighthouse so important? Because off the coast of the Outer Banks, the area is known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" - over 600 ships have wrecked here over the past 400 years.
Hatteras is one of the oldest English given names in the United States, given by an expedition sent by Sir Walter Raleigh. Nowadays, the beach is known as one of the best beaches in the US, ranked by organizations such as Forbes, CNN, and the Travel Channel.
