Ocracoke Island—a thriving village tucked away on the Outer Banks—is as charming and welcoming as ever, but getting here can sometimes be the adventure you didn’t plan for.
While access isn’t in crisis, it does have its challenges.
The Ocracoke Access Project is a community-led effort to ensure that our ferries, roads, and dredging projects keep up with the island’s needs. We’re here to safeguard reliable access so you can keep enjoying everything Ocracoke has to offer, both now and for years to come. After all, the journey should be part of the fun, not the frustration.
Raise your voice for Ocracoke! Contact local legislators with our pre-drafted letters or use our talking points to make your personal plea heard.
