Breakfast on Ocracoke Island can be as mean or lean, and fast or slow as you like. You can grab a smoothie, yogurt, oats or fresh fruit on your way back from an early morning run on the beach. Or perhaps, you’d prefer a hot coffee and a piled-high biscuit to take with you on your way to staking out a place on the beach for the day. And if you aren’t in a rush at all, you can sit in house with your loved ones and chat over hearty omelets, hotcakes, cheesy grit bowls and other Southern specialties.
