Can we get there and back?

We are coming to Fayetteville on a Friday to visit our son. Flying out of Raleigh Sunday afternoon. Can we get to Hatteras, spend the night, and back in time for our flight? I have mileage markers on a map, ferry schedules, but NO idea if I am wedging too much into a weekend. TIA.

Its doable but that would be a hectic weekend and I just don%26#39;t think it would be worth all the driving. Hatteras to Raleigh, without traffic, is about 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

If you are interested in staying at a beach location I would go toward Carolina Beach, or Wrightsville Beach. 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. to Raleigh.

Yes, that would likely be a hectic weekend. If you a coming during the summer, the traffic on the Outer Banks can be awful, adding hours to a drive. You mentioned ferry schedules, if you are considering traveling from the south to Hatteras (via Ocracoke) that will actually take longer even though it%26#39;s a shorter distance. The area is beautiful but I think you probably need a bit more time to enjoy the trip.
