This is definitely a long day trip but so worth it. Check out the Hatteras ferry schedule and plan to get to the ferry dock a little early to get in line. The drive to Hatteras is a little over an hour and the ferry ride to Ocracoke is about 30 min. Spend the day on this island bike riding, sight seeing, shopping, beaching and eating before catching the ferry back to Hatteras. It is a little like a small Key West!

City/town information
Historic Corolla Village is about an hours drive North on Highway 12, but worth it! If you have a 4x4 vehicle, venture on the beach and see the wild horses that live and roam freely in this area! The pavement ends and the fun begins!
