Harkers Island

Harkers Island is nestled in the sound at corner of Shackleford Banks and Core Banks. The island is named after Ebenezer John Harker, an Englishman who settled here in the early 1700s. With a population of just over 1,500 people, Harkers Island offers a peaceful and serene lifestyle that's perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city living.

Harkers Island is minutes from the Atlantic Ocean by boat or ferry, and visitors can swim and fish in the crystal-clear waters. The island is the gateway to the Cape Lookout National Seashore, which offers miles of unspoiled beaches and breathtaking views of the Atlantic.
