Ochracoke is my fav. Now is a good time to go, because it can get nutz in the peak of the season. One of my fav places on Ochracoke is the Blue Beard Museum. It's hoaky and dinky, but I love hearing the stories of Blue Beard. BTW, Ochracoke (yeah, I know I'm not spell'n it right) has wild horses, too, but they're penned up on the west side of the main road that takes you from the ferry (from Hatteras) to downtown Ochracoke. My brother is in the Nat'l Park Svc. and for many years he was The Man on Ochracoke and lived in that big house at the base of the lighthouse.
