Fishing near Buxton, NC

Buxton sits on Hatteras Island in Dare County, at the elbow of the Outer Banks where the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream converge just offshore. Cape Point — the tip of that elbow — built a decades-long reputation as one of the East Coast's premier surf-fishing destinations, particularly for large red drum. Today the area draws anglers for surf fishing along the Buxton beaches, inshore action on Pamlico Sound, and offshore runs to the Gulf Stream for pelagics.
