Ocracoke is not easy to get to, but that’s why you should get there – travel to the Outer Bank’s most pristine beach on a ferry, private plane, or private boat. More than ten miles of clean, uncorrupted beach is host to the best fishing, sailing, and kayaking in
North Carolina. Dolphins, turtles, birds, and even wild ponies call Ocracoke their home and they have little to worry about, as Ocracoke is nearly untouched by human development and pollution. With its swashbuckling history (Blackbeard the pirate met his end here) and promise of an authentic getaway for the world’s seashell collectors and sand castle builders, Ocracoke’s only challenge is to remain private and picturesque in the coming years.
