A Better Day on Silver Lake at Ocracoke

On our last trip to Ocracoke, we discovered what has got to be the BEST way to have dinner on the island.

1. Stay at the Bluff Shoal Motel – there are lots of great places to stay on the island, but for the price and the secret garden on Silver Lake this vintage motel is the best.
2. Order a steamer pot from Captain Puddle Ducks (you can customize them to your preferences but they need a couple hours notice)
3. When the steamer pot is delivered to your room take it to the lovely garden behind the hotel and enjoy a delicious private dinner on Silver Lake
4. After enjoying the music of Willis Gupton floating over the water from the Jolly Roger Pub while you dine, enjoy a moonlit dance on the waterfront deck.
