Description | Dare County is undertaking a large-scale beach nourishment project placing approximately 2 million cubic yards of sand along 2.9 miles of Buxton's oceanfront shoreline, from Haulover Day Use Area to the groin near Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Concurrently, the southernmost Navy-built groin will be repaired with a new steel sheet-pile core and stone scour protection to help retain sand and slow shoreline erosion. The project aims to protect critical infrastructure, especially N.C. Highway 12, and is part of a long history of shoreline engineering efforts in Buxton. |
