#outerbanks #obx #ocracoke
After canceling a previous visit to Ocracoke in the spring, we made a return trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and spent a day enjoying Ocracoke Island. It was our first visit to this particular island. We had heard great things about Ocracoke - and it lived up to the hype! Dr. Beach (real name: Dr. Stephen Leatherman, one of the world’s foremost beach expert) actually named Ocracoke as the best beach in the United States in 2022. Could that be possible? We will share our opinion - plus visit the lighthouse and all the other attractions to see in Ocracoke Village. We’ll even discuss Ocracoke’s reputation as the favorite hideout of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. Join us as we spend one day exploring Ocracoke. We are already making plans to return!

Portsmouth is one island past Ocracoke - still has a whole ghost town called Portsmouth Village. The town has a yearly reunion from when it was shut down ~1974 still with no electricity. Portsmouth is the real hidden gem of the OBX. Rudy Austin is contracted by the NC DOT and takes up to 10 people for $80 round trip from Ocracoke Harbour

Vacationed on the island back in the 80's and it was definitely the best beach. Quiet, white sand, beautiful shoreline and did I mention quiet. We stayed there for ten days and I think we saw about five people total on the beach.

It is so amazing to go to such a beautiful place and have it mostly to yourselves. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your memories of your Ocracoke visit!

@thetravellingwelshman 2 года назад

Well this quaint little island really does make the most of its seaside location! Those are some wonderfully reserved coasts, not too dissimilar to the coastlines of my own country. Pretty cute that they have a little Blackbeard themed store, great place to grab up some nautical related gifties!

@TheLaughingLion 2 года назад

The island attractions are super! But your commentary and outtakes, editing is what made the video entertaining, informative, and engaging to watch! Wow Howard's pub, with local seafood, now that's where i would go. like 36

@shannonlinquist2649 9 месяцев назад

Wow - last time I was at Ocracoke was 85' back when I was in the CG. All they had back then was a Coast Guard station, a bank, post office, two general stores and a few bars! Looks like things have changed a little - LOL!

I am hoping we can make it to Ocracoke when we are there in November. I love hearing about the family who settled there.

@DayoffDiariesWithMariz 2 года назад

Worth to visit and explore this place. Ockracoke is absolutely an incredible Island. There's a lot to see in this lovely place. From trail, hidden coast, villages, souvenir shop, lighthouse and the stunning white sand beach. I loved to spend my day in these kind of island. Thanks for sharing.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina really are so great. Beautiful beaches, great seafood, fun history and attractions. We have always found new things to do as we travel through the area. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

@TheAdventuresofMegGreg 2 года назад

So cool that you can only get there by ferry to Ocracoke island! Nice that its free. Awesome that it has a free tram service there too! Amazing there are only 800 residents. The pirate history would be my favourite too! So amazing Blackbeard was killed right off the shores there. Haha love the t-shirt LOL! I would botch the pronunciation too lol. The fried Spanish mackerel sounds good "it tastes like fish" hahaha. The lighthouse looks really cool. Too bad its not always open. This looks like a lovely spot!! Thanks so much for sharing :)

@trvlnthru 2 года назад

The ferry ride over was very relaxing with some beautiful views of the water. The Ocracoke t shirt is funny. I believe I pronounced it Okacroke which caused Jack to stare at me like I had suddenly beamed down from a spaceship. It is really cool that the population is so small on the island. The Blackbeard history on the island is fascinating. I wish the Blackbeard museum hadn’t closed permanently during the pandemic as that would be fascinating. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Loved your visit to Ocracoke Island Jack and Alice. Enjoyed seeing the sights, wild ponies and lovely town. Also loved hearing the history and pirate lore. Would have loved to get a "Doctorate in Beaches!" Does it involve Rum? Looks like a lovely beach. We enjoy more natural ones! Thanks so much for bringing us along.

Love the Blackbeard history of the island. I think it’s kinda cool you have to take the ferry over. Wow some of those beach houses you saw along the way are amazing! That’s sad about the pony getting hit 🥲 but glad they are being kept safe. What a beautiful place, so glad you were able to go back after your not so perfect previous trip 🥰

We have been going to the OBX for over 20+ years. Always take the ferry over to Ocracoke for the day. Only once when we were at the Ocracoke lighthouse did we get to see the inside. We only go in the off seasons. A coast Guard Inspector was there to check the light and allowed us to see the inside for a few minutes, other than that we've never seen it before or since.

@SunKissedKrissy 2 года назад

Jack & Alice, ❤️❤️ THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!🙌🏼 You both go to so many awesome places. Sand dunes under the water - I’ve learned something new!! How exotic these beautiful Maverick wild ponies.🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴 The museum looks so interesting and fascinating to me. Blackbeard beheaded there? Wow! Another new fact for me to learn. 👍🏼 That T-shirt Jack got you is cute. The lighthouse is beautiful. I love them. I can see why the beach is #1 I have a special place in my heart for beach #7 (Coronado)😉🙌🏼 I’m w you… I love Ormond-by-the-Sea and don’t go to Daytona bc it’s too crowded. Big hugs luvs! Krissy☀️💋

@PuniChanFam 2 года назад

really great video on the island and beach, this was very interesting. enjoy learning about history and languages so it was fascinating to hear about their different words and phrases. darn the Blackbeard museum is still closed, hope that opens again because that would be must visit for me. love how all shops/restaurants are local . glad you could finally cross the last lighthouse off your list. thanks for sharing ✨

@Anonymous99997 Год назад

I wish that they would install cart paths from the village out to the airport and beach.

@johnmiller4282 Год назад

Tastes like fish, that’s why I love outer bankers. Once I saw a couple of tourist ask a fish monger what’s the difference between these 2 types of fish. Without blinking an eye he said why they are a different species

@TravelersParadise 2 года назад

That is one difficult island to pronounce. This island is so nice, plenty of nature to observe, love the Ponies! I would love to explore this island. We have Governor's Island here in NYC, and it's very small but nice place as well to get away from the big city. I like that you talked about the historical background of the island, very interesting!

@RetiredLovingIt 2 года назад

Wow! The underwater dunes are pretty cool! Outer banks is in our bucket list. Glad to see the horses are safe now. Glad the museum is preserving history! I am behind watching videos because I have Covid again 😩 I love the cool language. I can see why pirates would hide out there!

@trvlnthru 2 года назад

The Ocracoke t shirt is funny - but possibly too precious to wear out in public. We had a great day at Ocracoke. It is such a beautiful island. Thanks for your continued support!

@V.W.A 2 года назад

Excellent video! I always enjoy the history lessons in your videos. I'm also thankful to learn that mackerel tastes like fish, lol! Who would've ever thought. It did look like a pretty tasty fish. I have never visited Ocracoke, but have heard great things about it. The beach looks really nice and relaxing. I think Blackbeard would disagree though. Thanks so much for yet another fantastic travel video!

@CowboyJojosAdventures 2 года назад

Loved the ponies. Awesome museum, loved the island’s slang language. Interesting pirate 🏴‍☠️ history. Well Blackbeard met his fate! Beautiful beach 🏝 Your lunch looked great Jack. Love the lighthouse. Great to hear it is in good use and well preserved. Orcacoke sounds like a wonderful place to explore 👍🏽🙏🏽😘🤗❤️ Have a great weekend 🌸🌺🏝

@trvlnthru 2 года назад

We were so glad we finally got to visit Ocracoke. We have visited so much of the Outer Banks but this was the only major island we hadn't seen yet. This is a very laid back island with some nice attractions and beautiful beaches. We look forward to visiting again sometime for a relaxing stay on the island. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

@RoadiewithRich 2 года назад

I absolutely love lighthouses!!! Too bad you couldn’t climb it. I didn’t realize how beautiful the Outer Banks is. Very informative thanks!

@trvlnthru 2 года назад

We are big fans of lighthouses as well. Although I just look at them from the ground. Jack does climb them and he seems to enjoy the view from up there. But I get vertigo going up all those stairs. The Outer Banks really is a beautiful area. We love the beaches and attractions they have to offer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

You are right... That line for the ferry does get ridiculously long in the summer! Early arrival is a necessity if you don't want to spend the day waiting.

@TheTolleRoad 2 года назад

Glad you made it there! Good to see Howard’s Pub is still going strong. The Blackbeard stuff was the biggest draw for me too.

@TravelingWithEmMe 2 года назад

The ferry ride is a fun ride! Some of those home are beautiful! It's a shame the Blackbeard museum closed! That would have been a cool museum! That t-shirt is awesome LOL!! Good points you made about the beach! The outer banks beaches are much different then traditional beaches!

@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 2 года назад

I will have to add this to my list. Never been to the outer banks....if it's good enough for Blackbeard...it's good enough for me...lol

@FLACKFAM Год назад

What a cool island, I would want to get a golf cart! Interesting that they spoke another dialect. Sad that the Blackbeard museum closed! I hope you liked the fish that tasted like fish 😂! We definitely need to check out the #1 Beach!

Too bad that the ponies aren't allowed to roam anymore, but you are right, it is much safer. The Outer Banks museum looks like a really good one. Love all the information and artifacts. Dingbatters😂😂😂. I think I would have loved the pirate information too. Interesting information about Black Beard at the preserve. Great souvenir shop and the pub looks good. Love good seafood. That is a really pretty lighthouse, and the beach is so nice. Be safe, Bill and DeAnna

@ALifeintheParks 2 года назад

This was a lot of fun to watch, I enjoyed learning more of the history of Blackbeard. Do the Spanish Mackerel know that they’re from Spain? The word Dingbatters is very interesting as people call those who are idiots Dingbats here 🤔

Is it true that by law the inhabitants of Okracoke can eat nothing but Okra and drink nothing but Coke and that in 1732 a woman there was caught eating a pomegranate with a Diet Mountain Dew and was banished to Quartzite Arizona?
