About Salvo
Salvo is the quietest of the Tri-Villages on Hatteras Island, bordered by the wide-open Atlantic on one side and the calm waters of the Pamlico Sound on the other. Home to roughly 300 year-round residents, it offers a slow, unhurried lifestyle far removed from the heavier tourist traffic found in the northern Outer Banks. Daily life revolves around uncrowded beaches, world-class soundside watersports, and a tight-knit neighborhood feel. For families with children, Cape Hatteras Elementary and Secondary schools are located just a short drive down the island in Buxton.
