Welcome to a place that has no stoplights, traffic jams, or city smog.
Hyde County, one of the largest counties in the state,
has less than 6000 residents and is often called the
'the road less traveled'. Many mainland residents earn
their living from farming and commercial fishing while
Ocracokers depend on the tourism industry. Ocracoke was
just named #1 beach in the US by
Dr. Beach for 2007!
Hyde
County's history is worth the trip alone. Visit historic
sites like the
Octagon House, Lake Mattamuskeet and its
Lodge, Mattamuskeet Wildlife Refuge,
Providence Church,
Amity Church, and the
Alligator River
NWS.
Explore
the county's abundant natural resources: boating,
wildlife watching, fishing, and hunting. Utilize local
knowledge and hire a guide to assist you. More
information can be found at
the Hyde County
Chamber of Commerce and
Coastal
Guide.
In
Ocracoke, you will find the tourist mecca of Hyde County
- beaches, shops, restaurants, and a rich history of
their own. Visit the Ocracoke Civic and Business
Association's website at
www.ocracokevillage.com.
