Current Events Week of Feb. 19–25

Except for the noise we expect in the Dolphin Tank (a.k.a. Ocracoke School gym), this should be a pretty quiet week on Ocracoke. It's going to be warm and sunny. Winter beach days are the best!

If you're planning a visit during the winter, check out the Who's Open page so you'll know where you can eat, sleep, shop, and play. Even with limited options for ways to spend your money, Ocracoke is a great getaway. The best part of a winter visit is the great outdoors. The winter beach is amazing. Springer's Point and the NPS Nature trail never disappoint. Less is more around these parts.
