Description

Join the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, the Dare County Tourism Board Special Committee for the Outer Banks Long-Range Tourism Management Plan (LRTMP) and local community partners as we do our part to enhance environmental stewardship on the Outer Banks.

In the spirit of The Outer Banks Promise – a destination pledge designed to inspire visitors and residents to help protect the area through more responsible behavior and actions – the Bureau has adopted Cape Hatteras National Seashore Beach Access Ramp 1 as part of the National Park Service Adopt-a-Beach Program. This one-mile stretch of beach covers the pedestrian access ramp immediately south of the homes in South Nags Head and extends down to Ramp 2 at Coquina Beach.

Arrival: Please arrive a few minutes early for check-in (all volunteers must sign a waiver) and a quick safety briefing.

Getting There & Parking: Parking is available at the beach access, which is located on South Old Oregon Inlet Road (where it intersects with National Park Service Road), approximately five miles south of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore's northern entrance in Whalebone Junction. If traveling via NC 12, be on the lookout for a Bodie Island Maintenance / South Old Oregon Inlet Road sign prior to the turn.

What to Bring: Reusable water bottle, weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and a positive attitude! Cleanup supplies will be provided.

Questions: Please email community@outerbanks.org.
