On April 21, 2009, the National Park Service began the installation of new off-road vehicle (ORV) information signs at beach access ramps in accordance with paragraph 29 of the court ordered consent decree.  The first signs were installed at Ramp 43 on Hatteras Island and additional signs for all ramps are scheduled for installation.

 

The signs will provide the visiting public with information on beach driving, traffic rules and regulations, posted speed limits, applicable dates for night driving, beach regulations for prohibited activities, and recommended tire pressure. 

 

For more information regarding ORV beach access, visit the park’s Off-Road Vehicle Information webpage at:

A navigational chart showing Cape Hatteras and Diamond Shoals

Did You Know?
When the Home sank on Diamond Shoals off of Cape Hatteras in 1837, there were only two life jackets for all 130 people on board. Ninety people died. Congress passed the Steamboat Act the next year, requiring all vessels to carry one life jacket per passenger.
