i love it in ocracoke! you can ride your bike everywhere. Everyone is sooo nice! the beaches are awesome…and actually was on the travel channel’s america’s best beaches list (i believe). It’s most fun when you stay in a rented house, and not in a hotel. and bring your own bike with you. and be careful in the ocean! don’t go too far out because my boyfriend got stung by a jellyfish. he was fine though, it just hurt for a few days.
