Perhaps best known as the final resting place of the pirate Blackbeard, Ocracoke Island is the outermost inhabited island on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Primarily a fishing village, Orcacoke hosts a bustling tourist trade in summer with plenty of activity for the whole family, and a variety of hotels on the beach.
The Captain's Landing offers spacious queen suites with sitting rooms, full kitchens and private waterfront decks. If you're looking for a bit more space, consider staying in the Penthouse, a fully furnished luxury two-bedroom apartment that sleeps up to eight, or the Captain's Cottage, a two-bedroom house with its own yard and harborside deck.
Boat slips, grills, and bicycles are also available.
