The Foundation for Shackleford Horses (FSH) is a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving the horses and their habitat as one of North Carolina’s ecological and cultural treasures. Don’t forget to bring your hat, sun block and plenty of water for your trip to Shackleford Banks. Tours are three hours, and ferries return to the mainland periodically during the afternoon, so you're free to spend the day exploring the beach, photographing the horses or gathering some of the best shells on the Carolina coast. Guided tours, and ferries to Shackleford Banks, are available in Beaufort through Shackleford Wild Horse & Shelling Safari. Self-guided tours and photography are a popular option, and the Cape Lookout National Seashore’s Visitor Center on nearby Harkers Island offers advice, tips and safety reminders for your trip to see the horses. Since the island is 3 miles offshore and only accessible by private watercraft or passenger ferry, seeing these horses really is an adventure. The herd on Shackleford Banks lives on the southernmost island of the Outer Banks in the Cape Lookout National Seashore. Rachel Carson Reserve on Carrot Island Crystal Coast ![]()
