1 Roosevelt BlvdCedar Island Ferry Terminal station
3619 Cedar Island RdI recommend going across the ferry to Ocracoke as a pedestrian passenger. Bike and golf cart rentals are a short walk away from the ferry terminal. It is an easy way to see the island. Lots of great restaurants and gift shops. Be sure to stop by the local fish market for some local caught seafood before loading back on the ferry.
