Exuding a Cape Cod ambiance, Ocracoke Island is peppered with pirate legends and a rich nautical heritage. You will hear Ocracokers speaking with an old English “brogue,” a unique dialect passed down from the early settlers of the Outer Banks. (Remember that to the locals, you are the one speaking with an accent!) In 2019, a passenger-only ferry began round-trip service between Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. The schedule changes seasonally. A one-way trip takes about 70 minutes. View a schedule at ferry.ncdot.gov.
