Car Rentals/Transportation:
If possible, we recommend driving. This way you get to view historic Hwy 12. Take an extra day and drive the strip of sand all the way to Hatteras Village. If you have plenty of time, we highly recommend catching a ferry over to Okracoke Island for a day’s visit.
Also, check the link below regarding the ferry system to plan your trip from the south. You may find catching the ferrys on the way north opens up more adventure.
