Irvin Garrish Highway runs through Ocracoke Village on Ocracoke Island, a small, historic, walkable coastal community within Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The village features local shops, galleries, seafood restaurants, the Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum, Silver Lake Harbor, and nearby Lifeguard Beach. The area is quiet, tourist-oriented, and seasonal—busier in late spring through early fall with festivals and events.
