Beach Closure Update

We are waiting to see what the NPS does about the closures of Oregon Inlet, Cape Point and Ocracoke Inlet We are having a little weather event down here and all locations have been pretty well over washed by the ocean or the sound.

Oregon Inlet is under water, Cape Point has been severely impacted, North Ocracoke has to be pretty much history and with the wind going North it remains to be seen how much flooding will occur at Ocracoke Inlet. Since the closures were based on breeding behavior who knows were the birds will be after this minor little storm. The winds only gusted in the low 60's. Nothing compared to what we might see as hurricane season approaches.

When an inflexible court order meets the reality of this dry hunk of sand every thing goes out the window.
