Shackleford Island is a good island to go for the day or go and camp at. Their are lots of wild horses that roam the island. You can actually get right near them and get really close pictures of them. It is said that the horses first got to the island hundreds of years ago. There was a big ship wreck off the shore that was filled with horses. The horses were the only thing that survived the ship wreck by making it to shore. Over the years the horses have reproduced and continued to live on the island as wild horses.
It is also a lot of fun to do some fishing here! I like to use a cast net to catch little bait fish then use those on the end of my rod to catch some bigger ones! Then dinner is served! There is a local ferry that will drop you off there if you have lots of supplies and plan on camping. My favorite is to canoe over to the island from Finz dock!
