Seasonal off-road vehicle (ORV) routes in front of Hatteras Island villages and the Ocracoke Campground become pedestrian-only starting on Monday, April 15.
These routes, which run parallel to the towns of Hatteras, Frisco, Avon, and the Tri-villages, open to ORVs annually in the winter months when the visitor population is low, and close from April until October.
ORV access will reopen in front of the villages on October 15, 2024.
Beachgoers can check on updates to current beach access via the Cape Hatteras National Seashore website at https://www.nps.gov/caha/planyourvisit/conditions.htm.
