After a 40 min. Ferry ride we arrived on Ocracoke Island. It was a 17 mile drive into the small island town. It is very quaint and similar to the Vineyard. Visited the Ocracoke Lighthouse and a cemetery for English Soldiers who were killed off the coast of NC by German U-boats. Headed out to visit a rare breed of wild island ponies that have been corralled for their safety, then back on the Ferry to Hatteras. Visited the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and climbed the 254 spiral staircase to the top. Our reward was a magnificent view.
