Nights in Rodanthe is a 2002 novel by American author Nicholas Sparks. The novel was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Ann Peacock and John Romano. Rodanthe is a village on Hatteras Island off the eastern coast of North Carolina. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and by Pamlico Sound to the west. At one time the entire north end of Hatteras Island was known as Chicamacomico, but the U.S. Postal Service changed the name to Rodanthe in 1874.
