Anchorage Inn & Marina

Anchorage Inn & Marina sits on Silver Lake Harbor, the working waterfront at the center of Ocracoke village and the island's anchorage for as long as boats have been putting in here. From the property it's an easy walk to the shops, restaurants, and docks that ring the harbor, which makes it one of the more central bases the village offers.

Getting to Ocracoke

There's no bridge or road to this island. Most visitors arrive on the free NC ferry from Hatteras village, about an hour across the sound, or one of the longer toll ferries from Cedar Island or Swan Quarter on the mainland, each roughly 2.25 hours. A private plane can also land at the small island airstrip.
