We like to go to an island off the North Carolina coast called Ocracoke. It is part of the Outer Banks . Many people have herd of Cape Hatteras , Ocracoke is the next Island down. Access only by ferry .



It has been listed as one of Americas top ten beaches , although the best beaches are only accessed by 4 wheel drive . So that might be a turn off to many people however the ones that like it that will only make it better. However since the introduction to SUV's there hass been quite an increase to the tourist industry there.



There is not a lot to do here but relax and fish. The island was once the hiding place for Black Beard the pirate, it also was the only entry to the sound at one time so it was a pilot town too. It also played a roll in WW 2 believe it or not ,so you can see that it is full of history , later it became a steeply fishing village and these days it's mostly a tourist stop and sport fishing village. Commercial fishing is still done but it not as big a business as tourism is.

South Point on Ocracoke

The best sun set in the word are seen here

Aren't we a happy couple

The picture above is Sharon at South Point or favorite place on the Island, it is the inlet so it is where the sound meets the ocean , also the best place to fish.

nothing like a sun set at Jollys

Nothing like a great sunset and a good beer at Jolly Rodgers Cafe on Silver Lake . the best place to eat and watch the sun go down

This is the community dock

At one time the meeting place for every one

Hatteras ferry

one of the 3 ways to get to Ocracoke

Sun set at South Point. this is an older picture at this point in time the birds own this place . limited access the last few years because of the birds and turtles unfortunately for Us, it usually open when the birds have had their chicks and fly away late August.

this is why people are up in arms to fight this we use to share the beach with them but now the autobahn society has over ruled the human aspect of enjoying nature at it's best.
