The infamous “Graveyard of the Atlantic” is located along Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands and is the final resting place of hundreds of ships that went aground and were wrecked by the unpredictable shoals, winds and storms. Named as one of the TOP TEN beaches in the country in 2008 by Dr. Beach, Cape Hatteras National Seashore covers 45 square miles and home to the tallest brick lighthouse in the country. As you travel south, the towns of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras Village await.

Frisco is also the home of the Frisco Native American Museum and History Center. Avon is the central village on Hatteras Island located about 30 miles south of Oregon Inlet and about 20 miles north of Hatteras Inlet. Long ago, Avon was a maritime forest. The trees were cut down for shipbuilding in the 1700's and never grew back. For the windsurfing enthusiasts, the world-famous Canadian Hole is just two minutes south of the Village of Avon.

Relocation >Moving Companies
Contacting different moving companies is one of the first steps in moving to a new house. You will find a variety of service options and price ranges from which to choose, whether you are moving across town or thousands of miles across the country.
Call several companies for estimates. Ask each company exactly how their charges are calculated and what is included. How much insurance is included in the estimate? What is the cost for additional coverage? Are there special provisions for fragile or unusually valuable items? Is the delivery date guaranteed?
If economizing is important to you, ask if there are ways to cut down on the cost by providing your own boxes and packing your household goods by yourself. Household movers are competitive, and comparison shopping can help you get the best value for your moving dollars.
