“A pod of dolphins put on a big show for Hatteras resident Brian McArthur during a Sunday morning beach trip along ORV Ramp 55 near Hatteras Inlet, who fortunately caught the wild encounter on his camera less than 30 seconds after it began.

Dolphins and porpoises are spotted along the Outer Banks shoreline throughout the year, although sightings are most common in the winter months. Though typically seen in pods of two or more, it’s unusual to spot these local residents fully jumping out of the ocean waves.”
