5 Recommended Attractions in Buxton
Here are 5 recommended attractions in Buxton.
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse guards one of the most dangerous locations on the Atlantic Coast.
Offshore of Cape Hatteras, the Gulf Stream collides with the Virginia Drift, a tributary of the Labrador Current from Canada.
These currents push southbound ships into a dangerous sandbar about 12miles (19km) long called Diamond Shoals.
This area is known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the hundreds and thousands of shipwrecks that have occurred here.
