About Ocracoke

Learn more about the host city, Ocracoke.

Ocracoke Island is one of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The 16 mi (26 km) of unspoiled beaches and salty ocean breezes offer great opportunities for solitude, serenity, and peace of mind. The expansive vista of ocean and soundfront marsh provides a closeness to nature highlighted with her variety of beach vegetation and bird life. The proximity to the Gulf Stream, and consequent warm southern waters, make for perfect swimming and excellent fishing. There are also water sports and a colorful history to explore.
