''Most of the museum is still apparently under construction. The main attraction here is the full Fresnel lens on display. Since only a portion of the museum is open, it takes about 30 minutes to go through it. The admission is free....''

''The best breakfast and the nicest people on the beach. We visit every year and will be back next year. In fact, we usually rent our house each year based on the location of it to the pier. Looking forward to next year....''

''The hotel was very clean, staff was nice and hospitable but the room was small and very common. The bar with live outdoor entertainment across the street was not an appropritate scene for my 12 year old. People were loud and drunk and started fighting when we arrived. The police were called as the fight spilled into the downstairs hotel rooms. The next night there was no fighting but still very loud music very late and drunks. Also the ''continental'' breakfast was a let-down. Packaged muffins,...''

''This was one of the places that was on my ''Must See'' list. It did not disappoint. The stories of the rescues were very interesting and seeing the house and the kitchen building like it would have been back then was a lot of fun. We did not get to tour the original 1874 station because it was damaged from a lightning strike. I definitely recommend visiting if you're going to the Outer Banks....''

''A small museum, run by locals that love the island and want you to love it too. Ocracoke is a quaint place to visit but it surpassed being just a beach trip when I learned about the people and events that made Ocracoke what it is today. Museum offered ''Back Porch'' talks that were sometimes informational and often fun. The week we were there they offered storytelling two days with storytellers attending Donald Davis' National Storytelling Workshop....''

''I'm 11 years old and I've been coming to Ocracoke my whole life. They have great pirate stuff! My sister and I bought swords....''

''I believe it's free to tour this facility. It's geared toward adults with beach conservation etc. but it has a nice walk-through display on local flora and fauna for the kids to enjoy. The gift shop is nicely stocked....''

''How could you pass up the opportunity to climb the highest sand dune in the Outer Banks? If you have kids, make sure they empty their pockets of any valuables before they hit the dunes (and you too, if you’re planning to roll in the sand!). They will love the fun of climbing up and then tumbling down the dunes, but be prepared…they will be absolutely full of sand when they’re done. Bring some water to help with the inevitable mouthful of sand. Bring a kite if you have one and join the folk...''

''The best place in the world to get away from the world. If the weather is good and you can get outside... shoes off... sun on your back... priceless!...''

''It is a very good experience. Too bad they didn't even mention the Santos Dumont's flight, which was the first witnessed flight in a heavier-than-air craft, in Paris....''

''Coming from a family who loves the water we had a wonderfull time fishing. The captian was kind and the crew just as nice. I would love to do this again the next time I am in town with the kids....''
