The farthest south ramp in the seashore, this ramp provides year round off-road vehicle access to the southern end of Ocracoke Island. Any vehicles accessing the beach require an off-road vehicle permit.

Pedestrians may also access the beach and sound along this ramp, though it is roughly one mile to the sound access and almost two miles to the beach.
