An Island Out of Time
Twenty-three miles off the coast of North Carolina, lies the remote island of Ocracoke. Only accessible by ferry, Ocracoke Island is an enchanting step out of modern times into a world of captivating natural beauty, rich maritime history, ghostly shipwrecks, heroic lifesavers, crafty pirates, and a community of 900 independently minded residents. Since 1993, Molasses Creek has drawn its inspiration from this rich environment. We invite you to return to a time and place teetering on the edge of the known world . . . far from the deafening roar of the sound-byte existence we call civilization.
