Beach nourishment is complete! Thank you to our local leaders who made this possible!

The 2026 beach nourishment project is complete!

The beach fill phase of the 2026 Beach Nourishment Project was completed on Sunday, July 19, with the final connection to the previously nourished section of beach north of Glidden Street near the 6900 block of South Virginia Dare Trail.

Land-based and hydrographic surveys are underway to verify the volume of sand placed and confirm that the project meets the approved design specifications. Once this review is complete and compliance is confirmed, the project will be officially considered complete.

Crews are removing shore pipe and other project-related equipment from the beach using the Gulfstream and Juncos beach accesses. Several tractor-trailers will be used to remove and transport the equipment, which may cause minor traffic delays in those areas.

Installation of sand fencing and dune vegetation in designated areas is expected to begin in late July or early August.

Thank you all for your patience with this very important project.

Got a piece of rebar in the sidewall of our tire. Want to recommend Tire Choice Auto Service in Manteo:
- had an appointment in a couple hours
- changed the tire, put the spare and jack away for me
Felt like they cared. Small town service at a good price.
