Long Description:


The only way on or off of Ocracoke Island is by ferry (unless you have your own boat). There are two ferry terminals on Ocracoke, this one and one near the northern end of the island about 14 miles north.

This terminal is the northern terminus of the Cedar Island to Ocracoke Island ferry run and a separate ferry run serves Swan Quarters on the mainland. This is 2 1/2 hour ferry ride and runs $15 for a regular car and one passenger. The http://www.ncdot.org/transit/ferry/routes/schedule/route005.html>Cedar Island to Ocracoke route is essentially one of two water portions of North Carolina State Route 12. For a "review" of the ferry trip, see my waymark for the >Cedar Island Ferry Terminal.

To record your own visit to this waymark, take and post your own photo of the waymark with your log. Logs must contain an original photo as proof of your visit, please.
