Join the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau and local community partners in support of Thrive Month's Big Beach & Island Cleanup as we do our part to enhance environmental stewardship on the Outer Banks.
In the spirit of The Outer Banks Promise – a destination pledge designed to inspire visitors and residents to help protect the area through more responsible behavior and actions – the Bureau has adopted Cape Hatteras National Seashore Beach Access Ramp 1 as part of the National Park Service Adopt-a-Beach Program. This one-mile stretch of beach covers the pedestrian access ramp immediately south of the homes in South Nags Head and extends down to Ramp 2 at Coquina Beach.
