Why Live in Harkers Island

Harkers Island, NC, is a community with a rich heritage and a mix of long-time residents and newer locals attracted to its waterside living. The Hoi Toider accent, a unique dialect developed over centuries, is still spoken by some of the island's deep-rooted inhabitants. The area features a blend of newer coastal cottage-style homes near the water and older Cape Cod or ranch-style houses inland. Flooding has become a concern, particularly after Hurricane Florence in 2018, making flood insurance a necessity for many homeowners. Boating and fishing are popular activities, with waterfront homes often equipped with piers and several marinas offering fishing charters. Attractions include Earl & Lillian Davis Park, the Soundside Trail at the Harkers Island Visitor Center, and a ferry service to Cape Lookout. Local dining options include the Fish Hook Grill, a favorite seafood restaurant, and Billy’s grocery store, a staple since 1960. The island is connected to the mainland by a new two-lane bridge, and Beaufort is a 17-mile drive or a quicker boat ride away. The annual Core Sound Decoy Festival celebrates the area's waterfowl hunting heritage, and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center hosts monthly events. Education is provided by Carteret County Public Schools, with highly rated Harkers Island Elementary and Down East Middle serving the community.
