Looking for the perfect vacation within your vacation? Take a day trip south to beautiful Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands! It’s less than an hour’s drive from Nags Head to Hatteras Island and only two hours to historic Ocracoke Village (including the free ferry ride!) The ocean scenery is incredible as you head down Highway 12. Relax and unwind – life takes on a slower pace here. These Islands are rich in history and mystery – scan the seas from the world-famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse – or search for Blackbeard’s treasure. Said to be the treasure of Ocracoke, Springer’s Point is the last undeveloped spot on Ocracoke Island outside of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. An island within an island, Springer’s Point is a peaceful oasis of natural beauty in the heart of bustling Ocracoke Village. Crab or clam, fish or feast, or just relax on one of the incredible unspoiled beaches. Spend the day kayaking, bicycling, or sport fishing. Shop in one of the many eclectic stores or dine on local seafood. It’s the perfect day trip to get away from it all!
