Subject: Where to stay?
Hi all! I have never been to the Outer Banks before and we are going to be vacationing there this year during the third week in August. We are trying to decide on a house...I have no idea about the areas..my Mom's friend recommened Ocracoke, but it looks like there isn't much beach. Any recommendations? What is the difference from all the locations, oceanfront, soundfront, between the roads?? Does it really matter if you are not oceanfront? Thanks in advance for the help! Read More...

Subject: Ocracoke
Was just down to Outerbanks and unfortunatly did not get to do all that we wanted. We went to Ocracoke late in the day and everyone tired and we didn't get to stay long. I feel we missed the "experience" of the island. Others gumbled there were few shops and nothing to see and wouldn't stay. (Think they expected it to be like Manteo). Just wondered what other folks consider the charm of Ocracoke to be? What are your favorite things to do there? Your favorite spot? My husband and I want to spend more time there just ourselves when we go back and want some direction on where to go and what to see there. Thanks! Read More...

Subject: Ocracoke-Swan Quarter Ferry - how long?
can anyone tell me how long the ferry ride from Ocracoke to Swan Quarter is? I thought the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry ride was long, but on the map it looks like a speck of dust compared to the Ocracoke-Swan Quarter ride. Read More...

I was thinking about taking that ferry then heading by Lake Mattamuskett etc and taking 264 back up and heading back to OBX via Manteo.
