Ocracoke Island is 12 miles long and very narrow, with only one road running the length of the island from the ferry terminal to the small village of Ocracoke. With the exception of the village, the entire island is preserved as a part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We stopped at the National Seashore campground to reserve a site for the night and then went to the village to have lunch at the Jolly Roger restaurant. They have a covered porch next to the harbor. It is very entertaining to watch the Brown Pelicans that use the nearby pilings as perches.
After lunch we went back to the campground. Here's a picture of our site from the top of the dune that separates the campground from the beach.
We relaxed for a while in our folding chairs on the top of the dune.
What a beautiful beach!
At the end of the day we had a beautiful sunset to enjoy, a perfect end to the day.
