Hi Becky. Thanks for taking the time to read our blog and leave a comment.
Here’s some information from http://www.outerbanks.org/activities/land_activities/bicycling_in_the_outerbanks.asp about biking near Stumpy Point.
“US-64 and 264. These two highways run concurrently in Dare County from on the mainland through Roanoke Island to the ocean in Nags Head. On the mainland, they separate. US-64 runs straight west from Mann’s Harbor, along the north side of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge; US-264 runs south along the east side of the Refuge, through Stumpy Point to Englehard and then west toward Swan Quarter. NC-DOT Bicycle Route 2 (Mountains to Sea) runs concurrently with US-264.”
