Ocracoke Island, one of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks, promises visitors a glimpse of true seclusion amidst rare beauty. Miles of unspoiled beaches and natural beauty surround our coastal village. Ocracoke Island can only be reached by one of three ferries, private boat, or private plane. The wealth of indigenous wildlife and maritime forest as well as history makes Ocracoke such a treasure. We invite you to relax on the Pearl of the Outer Banks.
