Cedar Island

Follow Highway 70 to the end of the road and you'll find the fine community of Cedar Island ready to greet you with warm smiles and Down East spirit.  Cedar Island is home to the famous "Driftwood Restaurant" which duals as a restaurant, motel, and campground.  Also nestled in this small town with only 2 main roads, is the NC Ferry Station many use to travel over to Ocracoke Island via the Pamlico Sound.  Unique side street gift shops can be found on the island as well as a horse riding stable, a grocery and hardware store, and a wholesale retail fish company to accommodate passers by and the 350 residents on the island.  The island is mostly comprised of woods, so be sure to pack your mosquito repellent in the summer months.  Explore the beauty of Cedar Island with a kayaking trip and you'll sure see why this community is a well kept secret.
