Ocracoke High

Ocracoke Island, NC
No LL

Ocracoke is definitely a tourist trap. Three ferries stop here. Tourists touring the outer banks debark on one ferry and later embark on another. In the meantime they can tour this island, visit the shops and see the sights. The tourists love it. Ocracoke thrives on it.

Normally, Libby and I avoid all tourist traps. We don't like them. However, for some reason we love Ocracoke anyhow. Somehow is feels genuine, not phony.

Today, we just walked the streets, visited the shops and sipped the coffee. I bought two fresh bluefish fillets in the seafood shop for supper tonight. Only $3.70 for the two.

Right now, I'm on WiFi at The Ocracoke Coffee Company. They provide overstuffed chairs, coffee and WiFi. The locals provide good conversation. It's a fun place.
