Ferries help preserve Ocracoke’s charm

P5250012

Family and friends come and go all year long. The ferry boats are a big part of life out here and other than flying or swimming. It’s our only way on or off the island, which also helps keep the island the way it is.

There are no franchise fast food or stores out here. Only family businesses are allowed. There’s always a smile and a tear at the ferry docks because there’s always a loved one coming or going.
