Small, historic island village centered on Silver Lake Harbor and Irvin Garrish Highway (NC-12). Walkable to local eateries, galleries, the Ocracoke Preservation Society, the historic lighthouse and harborfront; beaches and Springer’s Point nature areas are a short drive/bike ride. The vibe is relaxed and coastal — local businesses, seasonal events and outdoor recreation dominate, and the speed limit and local culture favor bikes and golf carts over heavy traffic.
