The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division has begun taking reservations for visitors wishing to visit Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras village, now that Dare County has announced reentry beginning Sept. 15. Visitors can enter these villages through Ocracoke from either Cedar Island or Swan Quarter.
Visitors are reminded that there are only four Sound Class vessels that can make the crossing from Cedar Island to Ocracoke and Swan Quarter to Ocracoke. These ferries can carry approximately 50 cars each. People are also reminded that it takes 2.5 hours to cross the Pamlico Sound from Swan Quarter and 2.25 hours to cross from Cedar Island.
Two departures – one from Cedar Island and one from Swan Quarter – have been added to the schedule.
In addition to the current schedule, a 7 p.m. departure from Swan Quarter and a 10 p.m. departure from Ocracoke have been added beginning Saturday, Sept. 17, to accommodate the influx of visitors and will continue through Oct. 3.
According to a Ferry Division spokesperson, all ferries on the Swan Quarter to Ocracoke and Cedar Island to Ocracoke route are booked for this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17 and 18. Some reservations are still available on both runs for Monday.
