Ocracoke sits at the southern terminus of the Outer Banks, where the barrier island narrows between the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound. This 2016 survey details the village layout, centered around the harbor and connected to the mainland by the Portsmouth - Ocracoke Ferry. Notable cultural landmarks include the British Cem, a poignant reminder of maritime history, and the protected lands of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The landscape is defined by coastal features such as Teaches Hole Channel, Springers Point, and the marshy expanses of The Plains and First Hammock Hills. Aviation access is provided by the Ocracoke Island Airport, while local navigation relies on landmarks like Windmill Point and Old Slough.
