    After canceling a previous visit to Ocracoke in the spring, we made a return trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and spent a day enjoying Ocracoke Island. It was our first visit to this particular island. We had heard great things about Ocracoke - and it lived up to the hype! Dr. Beach (real name: Dr. Stephen Leatherman, one of the world’s foremost beach expert) actually named Ocracoke as the best beach in the United States in 2022. Could that be possible? We will share our opinion - plus visit the lighthouse and all the other attractions to see in Ocracoke Village. We’ll even discuss Ocracoke’s reputation as the favorite hideout of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. Join us as we spend one day exploring Ocracoke. We are already making plans to return!

    The island attractions are super! But your commentary and outtakes, editing is what made the video entertaining, informative, and engaging to watch! Wow Howard's pub, with local seafood, now that's where i would go. like 36

  • @maggieslifeisawildride512

    Vacationed on the island back in the 80's and it was definitely the best beach. Quiet, white sand, beautiful shoreline and did I mention quiet. We stayed there for ten days and I think we saw about five people total on the beach.

    Well this quaint little island really does make the most of its seaside location! Those are some wonderfully reserved coasts, not too dissimilar to the coastlines of my own country. Pretty cute that they have a little Blackbeard themed store, great place to grab up some nautical related gifties!

    Portsmouth is one island past Ocracoke - still has a whole ghost town called Portsmouth Village. The town has a yearly reunion from when it was shut down ~1974 still with no electricity. Portsmouth is the real hidden gem of the OBX. Rudy Austin is contracted by the NC DOT and takes up to 10 people for $80 round trip from Ocracoke Harbour

    Wow - last time I was at Ocracoke was 85' back when I was in the CG. All they had back then was a Coast Guard station, a bank, post office, two general stores and a few bars! Looks like things have changed a little - LOL!

    Worth to visit and explore this place. Ockracoke is absolutely an incredible Island. There's a lot to see in this lovely place. From trail, hidden coast, villages, souvenir shop, lighthouse and the stunning white sand beach. I loved to spend my day in these kind of island. Thanks for sharing.

    So cool that you can only get there by ferry to Ocracoke island! Nice that its free. Awesome that it has a free tram service there too! Amazing there are only 800 residents. The pirate history would be my favourite too! So amazing Blackbeard was killed right off the shores there. Haha love the t-shirt LOL! I would botch the pronunciation too lol. The fried Spanish mackerel sounds good "it tastes like fish" hahaha. The lighthouse looks really cool. Too bad its not always open. This looks like a lovely spot!! Thanks so much for sharing :)

    • @trvlnthru
      @trvlnthru  Před rokem

      The ferry ride over was very relaxing with some beautiful views of the water. The Ocracoke t shirt is funny. I believe I pronounced it Okacroke which caused Jack to stare at me like I had suddenly beamed down from a spaceship. It is really cool that the population is so small on the island. The Blackbeard history on the island is fascinating. I wish the Blackbeard museum hadn’t closed permanently during the pandemic as that would be fascinating. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I have never visited Ocracoke, but have heard great things about it. The beach looks really nice and relaxing. I think Blackbeard would disagree though.

    We have been going to the OBX for over 20+ years. Always take the ferry over to Ocracoke for the day. Only once when we were at the Ocracoke lighthouse did we get to see the inside. We only go in the off seasons. A coast Guard Inspector was there to check the light and allowed us to see the inside for a few minutes, other than that we've never seen it before or since.

      We are big fans of lighthouses as well. Although I just look at them from the ground. Jack does climb them and he seems to enjoy the view from up there. But I get vertigo going up all those stairs. The Outer Banks really is a beautiful area. We love the beaches and attractions they have to offer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
