Located near the Point of Cape Lookout, a sandbar has begun to connect, known as Shark Island, which lies outside of Cape Lookout's jurisdiction. The sand in this region is soft, making it difficult to navigate, increasing the risk of becoming stuck.
Due to high fire danger throughout the park, a fire ban has been put into place. As a result, the lighting of campfires is not allowed at this time. Charcoal grills are permissible as long as the charcoal is attended during use.
