Motorcycles, including dirt-bikes, are prohibited throughout the park. If your vehicle becomes stuck, towing fees can be very expensive. All vehicle operators, ATV's included, must have a valid driver's license in their possession while driving a vehicle in the park. More information on beach driving is available on the next page. The ferry fee is based on the size of your vehicle.
All fees are for a round trip.
Birding is a year-round activity at the seashore. Terns and herons are best seen in the summer. The spring and fall seasons are excellent times to view shorebirds, hawks, and songbirds. Ducks and geese are common during the winter months. Primitive camping is allowed on the barrier islands of Cape Lookout National Seashore.
