[{"role": "system", "content": "Cape Hatteras is a thin, broken strand of islands that arch out into the Atlantic Ocean away from the US mainland, then back toward the mainland, creating a series of sheltered islands between the Outer Banks and the mainland. For thousands of years these barrier islands have survived onslaughts of wind and sea. Long stretches of beach, sand dunes, marshes, and maritime forests create a unique environment where wind and waves shape the topography. A large area of the Outer Banks is part of a National Park, called the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It is also the nearest landmass on the US mainland to Bermuda, which is about to the east-southeast. The treacherous waters off the coast of the Outer Banks is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, Over 600 ships wrecked here as victims of shallow shoals, storms, and war. Diamond Shoals, a bank of shifting sand ridges hidden beneath the turbulent sea off Cape Hatteras, has never promised safe passage for ships. In the past 400 years the graveyard has claimed many lives, but island villagers saved many. As early as the 1870s, villagers served in the US Life-Saving Service. Others staffed lighthouses built to guide mariners. Few ships wreck today, but storms still uncover the ruins of the old wrecks that lie along the beaches of the Outer Banks.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I was considering moving to Cape Hatteras but wasn't sure if it was the best coastal town or not."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, they do create a series of sheltered islands on the back side, so it would be good for storms and such if you wanted to live on the coast."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is very important to me.  Hurricanes are a big concern.  I was trying to find out what the do for hurricane protection but maybe its the sand dunes?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Honestly these islands have survived onslaughts of wind and sea for thousands of years, I think they afford some great protection."}, {"role": "user", "content": "So good to know!  Do they have any fun sights to see or history to learn about there?  I love to teach my kids things like that."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Most of the Outer Banks are a National Park called the Cape Hatteras National Seashore"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes me happy that maybe they can't build on a lot of it so if I buy a house, maybe the land around it will be preserved.  Does it have a big tourist scene?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not exactly sure about that, but one of the biggest draws there would be the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, it's close to an area of the ocean that is known for shipwrecks and there are still ships sunken in that area called Diamond Shoals."}]
