Ocracoke\u00a0\u00a0is a\u00a0census-designated place<\/a>\u00a0(CDP) and unincorporated town located at the southern end of\u00a0Ocracoke Island, located entirely within\u00a0Hyde County<\/a>,\u00a0North Carolina<\/a>, in the United States. The population was 948 as of the\u00a02010 census<\/a>. As of 2014, Ocracoke’s population was estimated at 591.\u00a0Ocracoke Island was the location of the pirate\u00a0Blackbeard<\/a>‘s death in November 1718.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long walks where it\u2019s just you and sandpipers. Chartered boats to secret fishing spots and Blackbeard\u2019s favorite hiding place. Bike rides for ice creams and great Mexican seafood. A day trip full of kite surfing, or a week full of taking it easy and the freedom to do as you please. Sketched into the southern tip of the Outer Banks, Ocracoke has a raw, untamed pirate spirit, but it\u2019s so beautiful it can easily lull you with its sun-soaked charms. The feeling starts from the sea, rolling inward. The island, though relatively small, initially looks expansive due to its miles and miles of pristine beaches, all owned by the National Park Service. Ocracoke twinkles like a bright lure for a summer day trip from other, nearby Outer Banks destinations, and it glides lazily and romantically along for couples looking for a sail, a sea kayak excursion, or a walk to the Ocracoke Lighthouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s thought a small tribe of Native Americans known as the Woccocock were its first residents. Most believe the long line of early explorers, adventurers, would-be settlers, and colonists all shared a mispronunciation of \u201cWoccocock\u201d that became today\u2019s \u201cOcracoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

The island began to really take shape in the 18th century as a fishing village, surrounded by rich farming lands. Eventually, it gained notoriety as the favorite haunt of a man named Edward Teach\u2014otherwise known as Blackbeard the Pirate. It was just off Ocracoke that he met his end at the hands of British Captain Robert Maynard. Fall events on the island still honor that history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once ferries were installed in the 1950s, and a full water system in the 1970s, Ocracoke Island began to assert itself as a travel destination. Today\u2019s island is a haven for water adventurers who have a bit of the pirate\u2019s twinkle in their eyes, just as it\u2019s a peaceful, safe, relaxing spot to soak in raw Mother Nature. Here, you\u2019re just as likely to share a beach with friends all day as you are to make just a bit of room for rare migratory birds nesting or turtles hatching. From the Pony Pen to Springer\u2019s Point and its collection of live oaks and native oyster beds, you\u2019re enveloped by natural beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fishing village offers the right amount of shops, restaurants, chartered fishing opportunities, and surfing and biking rentals to keep most vacationers blissfully occupied throughout the vacation season. Music, good cold drinks, just-caught seafood, and a lot of laughter\u2014this is Ocracoke Island.<\/span><\/p>\n
