Keep the Beach Safe for Everyone

A beautiful sunrise should be the only thing waiting on the beach in the morning, not a dangerous hole hidden in the sand.

If you dig a hole on the beach, you are responsible for filling it in before you leave. No exceptions.

✔️ Completely smooth out the sand
✔️ Pack the area down firmly
✔️ Help protect children, beach walkers, emergency crews, wildlife, and nesting sea turtles

An unfilled hole can turn a peaceful sunrise walk into a serious safety hazard in an instant.

Please do your part to keep our beaches safe, beautiful, and enjoyable for everyone.

Leave only footprints, not hazards.

NEWS RELEASE: National Park Service Provides Updates on Missing Person

The National Park Service continues to seek information from the public to assist in locating Christopher Lee Palmer, 39, who was officially declared a missing person by Arkansas authorities on Jan. 16.

After a review of Dare County traffic camera footage, investigators have determined that Palmer’s red 2017 Ford F-250 was in Dare County, North Carolina, as early as the afternoon of Jan. 9. A blue and white kayak was observed in the back of the vehicle. Additionally, pings to Palmer’s mobile phone indicate that the phone was located near Avon on the evening of Jan. 10 and near Cape Point in Buxton on Jan. 11.

On Jan. 12, NPS law enforcement rangers located Palmer’s vehicle, which was stuck on the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. According to visitor reports, the vehicle was also stuck on the beach on Jan. 11.
