Ocracoke, Coastal village in Hyde County, North Carolina.
Ocracoke spans 8.6 square miles at the southern end of Ocracoke Island, with streets lined by maritime forest and residential neighborhoods along sandy paths.
The location gained notoriety in 1718 when British naval forces engaged in combat with Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard, leading to the pirate's death.
The residential population maintains a distinct linguistic heritage through the Hoi Toider accent, reflecting centuries of geographic isolation on the barrier island.
Transportation to Ocracoke requires ferry services from three points: Hatteras Island to the north, and Cedar Island or Swan Quarter on the mainland.
The British Cemetery contains the remains of four sailors from HMS Bedfordshire, sunk by German U-boats off the coast during World War II.
