HOW TO GET TO PONY ISLAND INN ON OCRACOKE ISLAND
Our Ocracoke Hotel is located on spacious grounds at the edge of Ocracoke Village at 785 Irvin Garrish Highway, Ocracoke, NC 27960.
Because we’re on Ocracoke Island, you will need to take a ferry to reach us. The ferry rides are most enjoyable. Feeding the sea gulls, seeing the vast Pamlico Sound from a “Captain’s View”, or just relaxing and enjoying the ride makes for a special beginning to the island vacation you will long remember.
The Hatteras Ferry does not accept reservations…it is on a first come basis, so make sure you plan your arrival with plenty of time to make the ferries.
