Occano is located in the heart of North Carolina’s Inner Banks. Stretching across more than a dozen counties including Bertie, Beaufort, and Chowan, this coastal region is known for its peaceful waterways, natural beauty, and inviting communities. It's perhaps a little less famous than its "Outer" cousin, and life moves at a gentler pace here. Neighbors know each other. Front porches are for sharing stories. And authenticity is never scarce. Most importantly, from the moment you arrive, the Inner Banks feel like home.
