Yes they could, but didn't actually do so with one exception until 1918. The North Carolina coast was the southern extent of U-boat operations in World War I. There were a couple sinkings off the Outer Banks in 1918, including, famously, the Mirlo by U 117 and the Diamond Shoals Light Vessel and the Merak by U 140.

Best wishes,
Michael
