Netflix series ‘Outer Banks’ says ferries run from coast to Chapel Hill. On dry land?

The North Carolina ferry system has discovered via Netflix that a boat runs from Chapel Hill to the Outer Banks.

Never mind that the two are separated by 250 miles of dry land.

“In case you’re bingeing ‘The Outer Banks’ on Netflix and wondering … no, there is not a North Carolina ferry route between Chapel Hill and the Outer Banks. But we can dream, can’t we?” the N.C. Ferry System wrote on Facebook Wednesday.

The post was quickly shared by the Town of Nags Head on the Outer Banks, which threw even more shade at the geographically challenged show.

“Apparently the new series on Netflix called the ‘Outer Banks’ mentions a ferry from Chapel Hill to the OBX. Oh, we miss those ferry rides,” the town posted. “... A bit bumpy, too, going over all of those buildings and cars and such.”

The show is supposedly set on the Outer Banks and documents what happens when “a group of teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks stumble upon a treasure map that unearths a long buried secret,” according to IMBD. However, it was actually filmed on the South Carolina coast near Charleston, IMBD points out.

Viewers took to the N.C. Ferry System’s Facebook page Wednesday to share other errors they’ve picked up, including South Carolina signs and logos in the background of scenes.

“I prefer the ferry from Asheville. Better in route movie and buffet,” Ken Brock posted.

“I just want to know where the southern accents are. I didn’t hear any. That’s weird to me,” Candace Thornton wrote on Facebook.

“It’s just a story,” Frankie Hill wrote on Facebook. “I really liked it. Yes it was not accurate with the location issues, but who cares. It’s just entertainment.”
