If you’d rather gaze out the window in a “ride up the beach” from Ocracoke for shopping and/or medical appointments rather than drive, consider using Hyde County Transit.
This transportation service is free to anyone aged 60 years and older. For others, the fee is $3.20 to Avon and $5 for the Outer Banks trips. Outer Banks trips can include requested retail stops in the Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and the Nags Head areas.
To make a shopping reservation, call the Hyde County Transit office before noon of the scheduled day at 252-926-1637.
To request transportation for medical appointments, call Hyde County Transit as soon as possible. Medical appointments, when feasible, can be made on the shopping days.
