This is an all day trip. You might even want to get a room for the night. You’ll have to drive all the way south to the tip and catch the ferry ride over to this world famous tiny little island. There is a lot of history. Black beard made this his home before he was executed for being the most famous pirate during the elizabethan era . Most people rent a golf cart to get around. It is so much fun and beautiful everywhere. Great restaurant as well.

This is a must see. It is a live production about the first colony that came over from England and tried to make a new life. I highly recommend this. It is an evening show. Be sure to wear your mosquito repellent. Can get a little chilly so bring a jacket.
