No beach nourishment projects are scheduled to be performed on any Dare County beaches in 2024.

Recently Completed Projects (2022/2023):

Beach nourishment projects were completed within the towns of Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head—as well as within the villages of Avon and Buxton on Hatteras Island—in 2022. The Town of Duck’s beach nourishment project was completed in the spring of 2023.  

Future Projects:

Beach nourishment projects in Dare County are designed to last approximately five years under normal conditions. At the end of each five-year interval, renourishment (maintenance) projects are necessary to restore the shoreline. 

Maintenance projects are therefore planned to be performed in 2027 to renourish the beaches in the towns of Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head. The beach renourishment projects that were previously planned to take place in the villages of Avon and Buxton in 2027 are now expected to be performed in 2026.* 

*Please note that this information is subject to change. More detailed information regarding any plans and potential schedules for future renourishment/maintenance projects in Dare County will be provided as it becomes available.
