Review & FAQ:
Harkers Island is located approximately half an hour from Emerald Isle via US-70 and Harker’s Island Road. The island features an unincorporated community of residents known as “hoi toiders,” who speak a unique dialect of English and are descendants of original 18th-century settlers. Today, the island is a major center for waterfowl enthusiast tourism and is home to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center, which showcases waterfowl art and carvings. Other notable sites include the National Park Service Visitor Center for nearby Cape Lookout National Seashore, which showcases a park documentary film and children’s activities.
