Rainy day, but that didn't stop the ponies from grazing and kicking up mud. Plenty of food and fresh water is avaliable for them. They just seemed to love nature's mud water!

Good for a quick stop to see some horses and learn a little bit about the history of the ponies in the Outer Banks. They are not out in roaming like they are at Corolla. Convenient beach access is directly across the street.

This was a great and relaxing place to go in the island! We were lucky they have ponys feeding as the first time we drove by there were none, so I'll suggest going there in the morning time. The beach access across the street it's one of my favorite as it has limited parking so it has limited people (if you want some privacy and nice beach time without too many people). We really like it! Great for kids and families! I highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful and quiet spot for the horses of Ocracoke to be. They are penned but it's for their safety and ability to thrive. There is also an excellent beach access point right across the street.

One of the many places in the beautiful state of North Carolina where you could see wild horses and ponies. Truly from the mountains to the sea. I'll have to come back soon, to visit with the ponies. If I don't my wife will kill me 😁

This is just a quick stop. It's just a coral for the ponies. You can scan a qr code to adopt one. This helps fund their care. There is no one there to answer questions. There an info sign but that's about it. Being that is free and you can sit all long as you like, it's nice. Across the road there is the most fantastic picnic spot! These ponies are different from the wild ponies that you can see on the wild pony tours.

Beautiful area. Walking trails are being renovated so you can only view ponies at the parking lot area for now. Interesting signs share the history of the ponies.

Very spacious area for the Ponies. You probably won't see them up close but should get at least a view from a distance. There are two elevated viewing decks.
