Ferry ride into evening to Ocracoke Island, NC

Bill Terry

April 8, 2025, 4:30pm – 7pm, ferry boat crossing from Cedar Island (aka The Mainland), North Carolina to Ocracoke Island. The ferry is the only way to and from Ocracoke.

After an “almost delay”… crisis averted… we boarded the ferry and departed.

Welcome to Cedar Island sign displayed on stacked blocks, featuring blue and white colors with illustrations of a ferry and a fishing boat.

‘Twas a cloudy and breezy day… but no rain.

A cloudy beach scene with dark storm clouds overhead, featuring a sandy shoreline, gentle waves, and two people walking along the beach.

If you missed the last ferry (there are only three a day), a place to hang your hat…

In route:

Ferries are always accompanied by seagulls:

First view of Ocracoke village:

Look carefully: the famous Ocracoke Light is in the middle

Looking back at another ferry, from Swan Quarter, trailing us in:

A cloudy sky with dark clouds above an expansive ocean, showing a faint outline of a ferry boat in the distance.
