Beach Access Ramp 30 provides year-round off-road vehicle and pedestrian access to the beaches roughly halfway between the villages of Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo to the north and the village of Avon to the south. Off-road vehicle and pedestrian access is allowed south of the 30, while the stretch of beach north of the ramp is dedicated to pedestrian access.

Parking is available for 17 normal-sized vehicles and there is an off-road vehicle ramp that leads out to the beach.
