“Ocracoke’s fall foliage rivals that seen in Blue Ridge Mountains!

There’s no need to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains or Appalachia to see fall foliage or fauna producing brilliant, bright colors this year. No sir-ee! ‘Cause we’ve got plenty of color and scenic views right here on Ocracoke Island! Sure…we don’t have any rolling hills or overlooks where you can see miles upon miles of endless mountain tops, but we do have maritime forests and salt marshes, and they are full of color!”
