Harkers Island is in the picturesque outer banks of the coast of North Carolina. An attraction for sightseeing, fishing and leisure, the island is accessible by only one road with a large bridge from the mainland. Whether you are going to Harkers Island for leisure or are on a mission to catch the biggest fish at sea, the two marinas with lodging are sure to have something for you.
Calico Jack's Inn and Marina
The inn at Calico Jack's is a small waterfront motel featuring three room types to suit your travel needs. For the budget traveler, standard rooms feature the lowest rate and two double beds. Kitchenette rooms have three double beds and a small kitchen and eating area. For a room with a view, spring for a picture window room, a standard room with a view of the lighthouse. While staying at the inn, you can store your boat for $15 a night and even take a ferry over to the lighthouse for some sightseeing.
