Walking Around Ocracoke Village After the Rain

The sun came out...  Eric and I decide to take a walk around Ocracoke Village.

 The harbor. The ferry sits at the dock.







Wheelie Fun
Scooter Rentals





Marina advertises with
a stuffed Blue Marlin.
 Businesses are starting to open for the season.





An eclectic mix of services:

TJ Outfitters:
Hot Dogs/Walking Tacos
Bike Rentals











The Wocokon is named for the
site where British landed
ships in July, 1585.







The ships expected to land at Wocokon, which is identical to what is now known as Ocracoke Island. This historical factoid is a bit confusing. 






Hotels look out onto
the harbor.

Ocracoke Harbor Inn







Irvin Garrish Highway &
Silver Lake Drive both
turn at this intersection.






A large sailboat in

Everyone on the second
& third floor gets a
view of the harbor.








A Mallard & his mate
swim in a puddle.

The cats caught my eyes
& then I read the sign.

Family Cemetery

The Scarborough Great
Grandchildren restored

In the small village of Ocracoke, tourism and hard work, life and reminders of death are close at hand.
