Spot Guide
Buxton North is a sandy beach break on Hatteras Island near the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The northeast-facing exposure picks up NE and E swells particularly well during fall and winter months when nor'easters send consistent swell toward the Outer Banks. This stretch offers a more accessible alternative to the expert-level jetty breaks at the cape itself.
