I could live there.
“You’d get tired of it.”
Not a chance in hell.
Looks cramped and crowded. And golf carts a re a bad sign of a neighborhood. Look for ATV’s and Gators instead. I’d avoid that place.
Looks like part of Silver Lake Harbor on Ocracoke.
That’s the CG station in the backgound.
Meanwhile, at the northern end of the NC OBX...

Bet they don't get struck either, Because they know how to drive in the sand. Lower tire pressure Etc...Funny thing is, out on Core Banks guys used old bread trucks as fishing trucks/ campers

It’s hard catching reds and flounder in Sandy Ridge.It's hard trapping coyotes on the beach.
I'm out.
We built and owned a canal front house on Ocracoke years ago - over near Oyster Creek. This was when it was still cheap and remote - before it got "discovered" by tourists and publicized by "Dr. Beach". It was basically still a fishing village back then. You got up at 5am, hit the Pony Island for breakfast, and were pulling your first flounder, blue or trout out of Teach's Hole or Wallace Channel by 6:30. Or, you could surf fish at the point, if that was your thing. At night, you could hit Howard's (or later, the Jolly Roger) for a beer, but that was about it for entertainment. My dad sold the place years ago, when my brothers and I grew up and the family was going in too many different directions to truly enjoy the place together.
It's still much better than most beach areas, but it is way too hippy/yuppie chic now, in my bitter and biased opinion.
Find you any intact Scotch Bonnets?

Now this is true.It’s hard catching reds and flounder in Sandy Ridge.
Jolly Roger got wiped by Dorian. While there's some lumber stacked up indicating someone might work on it, it's not been open-able since the storm (like a bunch of other places).
Pony Island is still good for breakfast
Howards is still there, though no longer open 365 days/yr.
Still lots of flounder/shrimp.
Ocracoke has just the right amount of entertainment. We started going around 20 yrs ago and go at least once or twice a year.
I always meet more and more folk from up north every time I'm on the beach fishing. Kure is not the same beach I remember as a kid.
And that's the damn truth!We quit going to Kure a few years back. Kure is what Carolina used to be, Carolina is on the way to becoming Myrtle.
No end to what the great northern immigrants won't ruin.
The Island has been discovered . . .My godparents had a waterfront home on Harkers Island before it was cool. I would LOVE to have a house on Harkers Island. It's much more expensive now, but I still think it's out of the way enough that it's not been "discovered". I hate how "discovered" our beaches and islands have become.
I haven’t been to Ocracoke in over thirty five years. It was early September and the tourist were gone with mainly people fishing and walking. .
