Blue Pelican Gallery is a quaint Island Gallery featuring the work of several local (Hatteras Island and North Carolina) artists who offer framed and unframed photography and illustrations, hand carved and painted birds, jewelry, pottery, tiles, ornaments, puzzles, CDs, gifts and much more. The local work is supplemented with glass and metal art and pottery from other American artisans. Located in the heart of Hatteras Village, approximately one mile from the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry docks, the Blue Pelican is a great place to browse, relax, sample the local culture, and even find a way to capture your memories of the Outer Banks through art.
