Ocracoke, North Carolina

Located at the southern point of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Ocracoke North Carolina is accessible by ferries only.

There is a free ferry from the National Seashore to the north which takes forty minutes. From Cedar Island to the south there is a charge of fifteen dollars to bring a car, three dollars for a bike, and one dollar for individuals. This trip takes about two hours.

Ocracoke NC is a small island and many people decide to leave the car on the mainland, bringing a bike or relying on their feet for transportation.

While Ocracoke gets its share of tourism, the focus is much more low key than most of the other island hot spots.

Many birds flock to the island to take a break from migration. There are plenty of nature trails for walking, as well as pristine beaches where many people also enjoy fishing.

You can find all you need at the Tradewinds Bait and Tackle Shop. If you don't have any luck in the water, grab a bite at Howard's Pub, which has some of the best seafood on the island, a huge beer list, and the audacity to stay open during hurricanes.
