Ferry Docks is a soundside spot in Hatteras Village at the southern tip of Hatteras Island, near the Ocracoke Island ferry terminal. The spot is on Pamlico Sound, close to Hatteras Inlet. It's a convenient spot with easy parking (ferry lot) and direct water access. The body of water is influenced by the nearby inlet, which can create currents. The atmosphere is unique with ferries passing regularly. The spot is intermediate due to currents and boat traffic.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Flat to choppy water on Pamlico Sound. The proximity to Hatteras Inlet creates tidal currents that can be significant. Depth varies and can be greater than at soundside spots further north. Chop possible in strong wind or when ferries pass. The body of water is wide and offers space, but be careful to stay clear of the ferry navigation channel.
Significant tidal currents due to proximity to Hatteras Inlet — risk of being pulled toward the inlet and ocean. Boat traffic: ferries, fishing boats and pleasure craft — stay clear of the navigation channel. Stingrays in shallow water. Sea nettles (jellyfish) in summer. Violent afternoon thunderstorms possible in summer. Do not ride toward the inlet — currents there are extremely dangerous.
