America is a vast and varied country and part of what makes it such a beautiful and eclectic place to live are all of the small towns and quaint hamlets that are filled with so much community and culture that no two destinations are the same. If you're looking to take a day trip or want to stay a few days to take in the full experience of a new place, an inviting town may be the perfect spot to immerse yourself in and see what small-town life has to offer.
Travel Alot compiled a list of the "most charming towns to visit" around the U.S., choosing a must-visit spot in each state worth taking stopping by. According to the site, "many of them are pretty artsy, but then we have some that honestly feel like a little part of Europe without ever having to leave America."
The most charming town to visit in all of North Carolina is Ocracoke Island. This small southern town was also previously named the "coolest small town" in the state. Here's what the site had to say about North Carolina's most charming town to visit:
"Ocracoke Island is another great place for those that crave something scary. The Ocracoke Island Ghost & History Tour goes over everything you need to know about the Island from Blackbeard to the Green Ghost on Howard Street. For those that aren't a fan of ghosts, Cape Hatteras National Seashore may seem like a better attraction as you can often spot a few wild ponies roaming the area!"
