Ocracoke Status Updates

I'm absolutely heartbroken that a Ocracat that we had been feeding was killed by 3 dogs that jumped out of a gray Toyota Tundra in the restaurant parking lot. These dogs looked like they were hunting dogs with spiked collars. Be on the lookout Ocracoke. Just so sad.💔

Each year, the Ocrafolk Festival comes to life not just through music and community—but through the incredible art that captures its spirit. From whimsical illustrations to bold designs, these posters tell the story of each unique year. Here’s a look back at the artwork for past festivals. Which one’s your favorite? With over 50 sponsors supporting Ocrafolk this year, we are so thankful to everyone who helps keep the arts alive on Ocracoke and beyond.

Despite the gloomy weather lately, Ocracoke still knows how to put on a show — the sunsets here are truly one of a kind. While you're soaking in the moody vibes, stop by our shop and explore what we have in store. Rain or shine, there’s always something to discover!

Memorial Day- Thank you to those who serve defending our freedom and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us. There are not enough words or accurate words to express our gratitude. 🇺🇸 We’ve been blessed with another great week of fishing out of Ocracoke! Girls’ day yesterday aboard the Free Ranger with Macy and Jennifer having a great day catching 2 blue marlin and two white marlin….go girls! Earlier this week we had great gaffer mahi fishing and released a sailfish. The gaffer fishing has been on point with boxes full and one of our anglers even weighing a 38 pound citation, congrats! We have June 6, 27,28,29 available next month and other days later in the summer. Give us a call and let’s go fishing!
