Beach Access Ramp 4, located just south of the Oregon Inlet Campground and across from the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, provides off-road vehicle access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Bodie Island.

No parking is available at this access, though there is a portable restroom and trash/recycling station about a ¼-mile down the ramp.

Know Before You Go

The seashore is an enjoyable place for swimming, but rough surf and rip currents can turn a fun visit into a frightening one. Tides, waves, and winds constantly barrage these barrier islands. Even at the shore's edge, crashing waves can pick you up and throw you to the sandy bottom causing injuries.

Off-road Vehicle Use

For beaches open to off-road-vehicle use, an off-road vehicle permit is required. Annual permits (from date of purchase) are $120 and 10-day permits are $50. Vehicles must be licensed, insured and registered; you must present your driver's license and vehicle registration. Permits must be purchased online at Recreation.gov
