Not our typical post but this guy was legendary on the Outer Banks as a photographer. If you’ve stayed with us, you’ve seen his work 😌 If you’d like to purchase his work, Eve sells at Yellow House Gallery in Duck.

As owners of a small piece of paradise, not only do we advocate for keeping beaches clean, we are entirely against random acts of ignorance that could lead to destruction of the beach, injury or loss of life. Examples include feeding wild horses, stopping vehicles on ramps, and digging large holes.

Why is our Ocean Rescue Supervisor standing in a large hole with a frustrated look on his face, you may ask?

👉Because someone decided to dig a massive hole on our beach and leave it unattended. 🤦‍♀️

I guess we need to say it a little louder for the people in the back, 📢 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗦!!! ⚠️❗️

Why are they dangerous? We're glad you asked:

🦈Did you know that national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸. (𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘖𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰.)

🧑‍⚕️No one goes to the beach thinking that they will leave with a broken ankle or worse. Unattended holes can cause numerous injuries to other beach-goers.

🚑 Holes make it challenging for first responders to quickly get to an emergency on the beach. They can also cause damage to their vehicles.

🐢 Who doesn’t love cute little sea turtles?! Holes on the beach can trap hatchlings and/or their mother and cause fatal results.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
Digging holes in the sand can be a serious hazard. If you want to dig a hole on the beach, ONLY dig shallow holes and ALWAYS fill them in once you're finished. Help keep everyone on our beaches safe.
