About the shop

A barrier island  20 miles from North Carolina's mainland, Ocracoke is the year-round home of 900 people.  Thousands of others visit each year (the beaches and fishing are terrific).  With the exception of two square miles where the village nestles against Pamlico Sound,  the island is undeveloped, protected National Seashore. 

Ocracoke is the kind of town where old-timers and over-educated escapees from commuter life perform together at a weekly Opry, and watermen and artists exchange fresh seafood and garden vegetables. 

If you come to Ocracoke, please stop by the shop and say hi! Biking or walking around the village is the best way to enjoy the locally owned shops and restaurants.
