Tours at Slash Creek Oyster Farm on Hatteras Island

About

Slash Creek Oyster Farm invites visitors to explore its oyster-growing operation on Hatteras Island. Its oysters are the gold standard for select, sustainable N.C. oysters. The page also includes repeated praise from unnamed tasters who describe the oysters as the finest they have ever experienced.

Each farm tour lasts an hour and a half and starts at the dock at Slash Creek Oyster House. Guests learn about the farm’s equipment and oyster-growing process before boarding The Half Shell, the oyster boat, for a 10-minute ride to the farm.

At the farm, visitors observe the various stages of oyster growth and hear more from Spurgeon Stowe. A fifth-generation Hatterasman, he has spent his life on the water oystering, fishing, crabbing, and clamming, and brings many stories to share.

Tours beginning summer of 2021.
