A beach restoration project is taking place this summer on the beach between 8031 South Old Oregon Inlet Road (Comfort Inn South) near Mile Post 16 and 10435 South Old Oregon Inlet Road near Mile Post 21.
*Oceanfront properties and public beach accesses along South Virginia Dare Trail will NOT be impacted by the project.
A construction progress map will be updated daily during the project to provide the latest beach closure information.
August 3, 2022 Schedule Update
Restoration of the southernmost two miles of beach in Nags Head, from about 9405 South Old Oregon Inlet Road south through 10435 South Old Oregon Inlet Road, has been completed.
In mid-to-late August, a second dredge will arrive and construction will begin near 8701 South Old Oregon Inlet Road and progress south to near 9405 South Old Oregon Inlet Road over about seven days. Then, over about seven more days, construction will return to near 8701 South Old Oregon Inlet Road and proceed north to 8031 South Old Oregon Inlet Road, which is the northern end of the beach restoration project area. Project construction should be completed by early September.
Beach Access and Lifeguard Stand Changes Due to Beach Restoration
*The Gulfstream public beach access will be used for equipment staging and will be closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic from about mid-August through early September 2022.
**Equipment is being removed from the Juncos public beach access. The access should be re-opened to vehicles and pedestrians in late August. The lifeguard stand at this access has been temporarily relocated to the Jacob access.
