Beach Nourishment 2023

Outer Banks Beach Nourishment

Beach Nourishment on the Outer Banks entails pumping sand from the ocean floor onto the beach to build up eroded areas. This helps to create a wider beach, enhancing our shoreline. The beaches will remain open during this time but access to certain areas will be restricted during the actual construction phase.
