Review:

Ocracoke Island is the southernmost island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, accessible by ferry.

This idyllic place is perfect for a relaxing island vacation, with long stretches of sandy beachfront and a town filled with charming local businesses.

The National Park Service owns most of the island, so Ocracoke Beach remains undeveloped, making it one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the US. Visitors to Ocracoke can sunbathe, swim, or get wild with watersports from surfing to waterskiing.

On land, Ocracoke offers options for hiking, biking, and some amazing food at its restaurants, many of which have docks for guests coming by boat.
