But I have to disagree about the shells; you just didn't go far enough down the beach. I go to Portsmouth every summer just to hang on the beach for a while. We lucked out the one time we did go to the village (in July); it was a drought and the tidal flats were DRY! Very few mosquitoes. Funny story!

And it is worth preserving. It was a unique and fascinating community. And...the mosquitoes can be horrendous. No argument there. But you just need to pick your visit carefully...or come prepared. I have walked through the village in July in just my swim trunks -- no bugs at all. And I have been there when the skeeters drove me back to the dock. If you're going, ask around the village at Ocracoke to find out how the bugs are across the inlet. Oh yes, I have found great shells on the beach at Portsmouth.
