The Cedar Island–Ocracoke ferry runs three to four times daily, crossing Pamlico Sound in about 2 hours and 15 minutes, with a walk-on passenger fee of $1. The terminal includes shaded waiting areas, restrooms, and a reservation check-in area for foot passengers and vehicles. Along the way, you’ll pass wide open water, low-lying marshes, and distant glimpses of the barrier islands, an expansive, quiet stretch of coastal North Carolina. If you’re traveling during the summertime, reservations are strongly recommended and can be made through the NCDOT Ferry Division site here:ferry.ncdot.gov/reservations/#.
