Fermeture
Beach safety closure in place from Buxton Village to near Ramp 43
The entire beachfront from the north end of the village of Buxton to near ORV ramp 43 is closed to public entry due to damages to dozens of houses and associated septic systems caused by wave action as Hurricane Erin passed along the coastline.
Old Lighthouse Beach lifeguard area temporarily closed; other four lifeguard areas remain open
Due to the precautionary closure of Buxton Beach Access and the beach to the south—measuring approximately 1.3 miles—the lifeguarded beach at Old Lighthouse Beach is closed. Lifeguards are available at Frisco Beach Access and Rodanthe Beach Access.
