The air is turning cooler and the kids are back in school, and that means it’s time for the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Southport-Fort Fisher, Swan Quarter-Ocracoke and Cedar Island-Ocracoke ferry routes to make their annual transitions to off-season schedules.
In addition, the Ocracoke Express passenger ferry will end its seasonal service on Sept. 15.
A complete ferry schedule is available in the NCDOT website.
