Ocracoke Vacation Rentals and Hotels

The North Carolina island of Ocracoke is off the coast of Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks. It is a simple place without the hustle and bustle of many tourist spots. Its beaches are pristine, untouched by development and perfect for everything from shellfishing and clamming to surfing and kayaking. Plenty of fishing charter boats are available for anglers who want to try their luck at catching flounder, trout, mahi-mahi, bluefish, barracuda, snapper, king mackerel, amberjack, grouper, triggerfish, or drum. Bike rentals in Oracoke allow visitors to cruise up and down the coast to check out the many sights, including the historic Ocracoke Lighthouse, the British Cemetary for World War II soldiers, and the Ocracoke Pony Pens. Nobody knows how the distinctive breed of wild ponies got on the island, but their large pasture, overseen by the National Park Service, is a favorite spot of residents and visitors alike. After a day of Oracoke sightseeing, be sure to visit the Ocrafolk Opry and the local bluegrass band, Molasses Creek, at Deepwater Theater.
