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.
