Ocracoke Island, NC

Ocracoke Express Passenger Ferry. Beginning in summer 2018, the N.C. Ferry System will add direct passenger-only service from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke Island’s Silver Lake Harbor, giving tourists an opportunity to explore the island without having to worry about traffic or parking. The Ocracoke Express will depart from the Hatteras Ferry Terminal several times a day between May and September, whisking passengers across the Pamlico Sound directly into Ocracoke Village and in walking distance of all the village has to offer – from dining to shopping to strolls along the waterfront.
