Ferry Schedule is available on line, plan ahead, it gets crowded this time of the year. Plenty to do while your there. Do a search under the off topic for outer banks and you'll see pictures from our last two trips there. I've never been during the "season" always during the cooler months. Still plenty to see an do. One bit of advise, you will do a lot of driving up and down teh banks, it takes longer than you think and burns up a lot of gas, plan accordingly. If you want to take two ferrys in one day(Ocracoke and Cedar Island for example) plan ahead and get there early. Don't forget about Currituck Light, its North of Kitty Hawk, but is nice and has plenty to do around it. If you happen to be a duck hunter, you'll like the museum. If any of the women want to go thru Rodanthe, just say OK, and don't say what movie or ask about it, you may be forced to watch it.
