    Rodanthe is located in Dare County, North Carolina, United States, on Hatteras Island, part of North Carolina's Outer Banks. As of the 2020 census it had a population of 213. Rodanthe, along with Waves and Salvo, are part of the settlement of Chicamacomico. Rodanthe includes the original Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station, decommissioned in 1954, but now a museum. The town is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Pamlico Sound to the west.Rodanthe is the easternmost point of North Carolina. It is famous for its observation of "Old Christmas" on January 6, formerly Christmas, December 25, by the Julian Calendar, a custom held over from the original settlers who still used the "Old Style" calendar.
    Many of Rodanthe's restaurants, shops and markets are seasonal, closing during the winter months and reopening the following spring. Many of these are family-owned, rather than chain franchises. Provisions can still be purchased on the Outer Banks during the winter months, but a short drive south to the town of Avon or north to Nags Head is required.
    In 2002, Nicholas Sparks published the book Nights in Rodanthe, a romance novel about two visitors to Rodanthe. The film was partially filmed in the town of Rodanthe and entirely filmed in eastern North Carolina - including Cape Hatteras, Southport and Wilmington. During film production, one of the rental houses, "Serendipity", the northeasternmost house in Rodanthe, was transformed into the fictional "Inn at Rodanthe". Now a vacation rental, the Inn at Rodanthe has become a popular Outer Banks attraction and is booked year-round.

    Rodanthe is a tiny town built on a moving sandbar. The sandbar is only 1 block wide at spots and is approx 25 miles off the mainland of NC. Was NEVER intended to be built upon.

      Agree... I finally took a trip all the way up the OBX during lockdowns. Idk they let hwy 12 go that section north of the town and built a bridge. Guess I was one of the last to travel that section.

    I had a look at this place on Google maps. There are house/lot numbers out in the ocean! There must have been another couple of rows of houses that aren't there any more.

      Someone noted in the comments below that a number of the houses seen in this video have washed away since this video was made. Search you tube for a video that was made a week ago or so...mid to late September 2024. I stayed in Nags Head at the Comfort Inn in 2008. It had enormous sandbags in places around the perimeter to keep the surf at bay. Since I was there it's had at least one beach replenishment but that is a costly endeavor.

    I love this place, I dream of retiring in Frisco or Avon. I've spent many weeks of the year all through my youth in Rodanthe, an uncle had a house on Sea Oats Drive. Sadly, his house was lost 20 years ago and would easily be 100 yards past those houses being lapped by waves now.

      I would say that depends on each individual’s preference. I usually like to go once things slow down, late September/early October. The crowds are gone but restaurants and places are still open.

      Sadly, erosion has been a problem for a number of years now. In some of footage, you can see where the road that was once there ends. Many houses have been taken down already. The bridge you can see in this video is the “bypass” for the road that once existed :(
