Check this iconic Fort out at the end of the Island. It served as a hub to thwart off all the enemies and keep America safe. Lots of history and maps and guidelines. Its worth the trip.

United States Coast Guard Base Elizabeth City

Reviewed By MannySEAL - Moyock, United States

This Coast Guard Base on the outskirts of Elizabeth City is called the "Largest Coast Guard Operating Base in the World". Wow That's a mouthful for a base that in my US Navy experience Would be called "really small". If you are an Active Duty or Retired member of the Armed Forces there are things here to serve you. A Coast Guard Exchange and Gas Station a nice RV Park on the water and three nice size cabins for rent on the RV park. They also have an I D lab to renew your government I D card.

4. Fort Ocracoke Monument
