The island, which is off the coast of Cape Point near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, is a mile long and three football fields wide. And while the island is drawing tourists from near and far, Dave Hallac, superintendent of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, told The Virginian Pilot that people should not try to walk or swim across the water that separates the island from the coast.
