Recent communication from the Town of Duck regarding beach erosion:

Dear Nourishment Area Oceanfront Owners and HOA contacts,
 
Recent winter storms and nor’easters have caused significant erosion in the beach nourishment area (just north of the Army Corps of Engineers Property to Skimmer Way), creating steep drop-offs and sand escarpments in several locations.
 
To improve safety and access, the Town has hired a contractor to restore and grade beach access pathways, improving routes to the flat sand beach within the nourishment area only.
 
This work began today and is expected to take several days; however, with another round of northeast winds forecasted beginning Monday the 23rd, grading work may extend into the week of Easter. Our top priority is to address community access points and the most severe drop-offs first.
 
We appreciate your patience as we work to improve beach conditions while coordinating with ongoing weather impacts.
