In other places, particularly on Pea Island, cars parked by the side of the road where paths lead across the dunes. There were some small parking areas on the stretch south of Rodanthe, with walkways across the dunes. In most places, the ocean-side water is not visible from the road (Route 12) because of the height of the dunes, although the distance from the road to the shoreline is no more than a few hundred yards in most places. Except for the areas encompassed by the towns, the Seashore is undeveloped. A few small towns such as Rodanthe, Avon, and Buxton lie within the National Seashore.
