 If you are
planning a relaxing vacation for the summer and are
looking for a beautiful beach, then Ocracoke Island, NC
is the spot. This remote island is full of history,
enchantment, magic and we guarantee the best time of
your life!! Ocracoke Island was ranked the number 1
most visited beach in 2007 by Tourism magazine.
Ocracoke Island offers the most beautiful and clean
beaches that the Outer Banks has to offer! If you
arrive on the island without the luxury of your personal
4X4 truck or SUV, Beach Ride Rentals specializes in Jeep
Wranglers and Jeep Cherokees. We offer automatic and
manual transmissions which are kept clean and in good
condition!!
There are nine on and off ramps between the beach and
N.C. Highway 12, five of which provide four-wheel-drive
access. The southern and northern ends of the beach, the
areas most popular with surf fishermen, are open
year-round to four-wheel-drive vehicles. The section of
the beach between Ramp 70, by the airport, and Ramp 59,
at the Hatteras ferry, is closed to vehicle traffic
seasonally and has plenty of good spots for families
with children and those looking for more solitude.
Several threatened and endangered species, such as the
piping plover and several species of sea turtles, nest
on the island’s beaches, and sections may be closed to
the public in order to protect these nests.
