The Ferry Ride From Cedar Island to Ocracoke Island

Eric called the Cedar Island Ferry and asked if our motorhome and car would fit on it.  Yes we can! The cost for both vehicles is $45.00.  We should arrive by 3:30 pm to get the last ferry northeast to Ocracoke Island at 4:00 pm.

Eric follows directions

to lane four.

We wait to board

We are parked beneath
the the bridge, beneath
the hoist & small boat.







We fill up more than one lane.
