ocracoke lifeguarded beach印象
-
peace and quiet and one of the best health and wellness retreats on the east coast --- bicycle and sunscreen, don't leave home without it

This is a beautiful wide white sandy beach similar to those found on much of the Outer Banks. This one is more remote because visitors need to get to Ocracoke island by ferry. There is a restroom changing area with outside showers and a big parking lot. The beach has a lifeguard in season but did not when we visited. We walked on the beach a while with our dog on leash and it is lovely. However an unexpected rain made us race to the car. The rain drops were huge and stung like bullets so watch out in fall when it rains on the beach as the winds are usually strong and that makes for unpleasant rain.

Dolphins(porpoises), Shells, Sun. This time of year practically deserted.(like we wanted). Sorry it was our last day and we could not stay longer.

When visiting Ocracoke, you must experience ghost crab hunting after dark. Bring a flashlight or two and prepare to see the "night life" come out. We saw dozens and dozens of ghost crabs walking around the beach and were treated to a lightning storm a few miles off the beach as well.

The entire east coast of Ocracoke Island is one long beach. This one is close to town and has changing rooms and an outdoor shower. After parking, take the boardwalk across the dunes. You will come upon a pristine beach that goes on and on. Never crowded, warm water (September), lots of shells to collect, birds to see, a must if you want a primo beach experience. Reminder - bring a beach umbrella if you want to spend some time. Otherwise there is no other shade.

This beach as well as all the beaches on Ocracoke Island are the most beautiful I've ever seen. They are wide with good distance of sandy beach before getting to the water. They were clean and maintained and hidden behind sand dunes all along the island. So from the main road, you can't see the beach but must take little foot paths from the road (or parking lots) to the beach. Its was isolated when I was there in Oct in off season. Perfect for a sheller or someone wanting some private time. We spent hours on the beach while only seeing a few people. They do allow SUV and trucks on the beach with a permit but that didn't bother me too much as it was slow season and I did not find it bothersome. Note that some beaches do not have restrooms. If you are a sheller and don't find shells here just pack up and go to another beach on the island. I am not sure how crowded it would be high/busy season but I would certainly go back in off peak season again. Stunning wide sandy beach with dunes, very beautiful. I wish I had taken pics of it.

Just stunning - definitely understood why it is so highly rated. Not our first time there, and not our last either!

If you don't have a 4 wheel drive, this is the place to go. Also, check out the campground beach. It's what everyone comes here for.
-
if you're in need of a lifeguard after September, bring a friend who is a strong swimmer and loves to watch --- sunrise, sunsets, yoga, meditate, sound of the waves and the salt air -- what more could you possibly want ---

I have been to the OBX a few times but just went to the beach on Ocracoke for the first time on this trip. It was great, plenty of sand/space for people to lay out without feeling over croweded. The beach itself is rather level so it is great for running or long hikes. You can walk for miles picking up/looking for seashells of which there are plenty. It is just a nice relaxing beach with beautiful water.
