This is the final weekly beach access report for the 2011 season at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We anticipate there will be very few additional significant changes in access since Hurricane Irene reduced the number of sea turtle nests remaining on Seashore beaches. Any significant changes in access that occur this fall or winter will be reported in a press release, as needed. Minor adjustments in access will simply be reflected in periodic updates of the Google Earth map. We appreciate your interest, your comments, and your input over the past six months.Enjoy the great fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities found on the park's fall and winter beaches! Beach and soundside access throughout the Seashore: ·Ramps that are open to pedestrian and ORV access:Ramps 2, 4, 27, 30, 34, 38, 43, 44, 45, 49, 55, 67, 70, and 72
On-site signage provides the most accurate and current indication of public use restrictions or closures.
